Life is about Memories ⭐️🎉💙

"Each happiness of yesterday, is a memory for tomorrow"

Life
Memories
That's all we have
That no one can EVER take away from us

After endless pebbles and rocks and stones in uncomfortable shoes, I was shouting at you and your Dad in the far distance. Telling you to turn around, to come back.

And then I saw you:

Happy
Barefoot
Exhilarating joy personified
Living
With every fibre and sinew and emotion and movement you have
The sun on your face,
Trying to outshine you
To no avail

Seeing you having the time of your life in this oasis, I realize in awe,

We need the rocks and the stones and the pebbles, to show us what smooth sand feels like. We need hardships and tough times, to appreciate the good times. We need to taste bitter and sour to really appreciate the sweet moments in Life.
We need heartache and pain and suffering to savour every bit of joy and happiness, to experience it so much more intense.

Like you are doing at this moment Liam,
dancing and twirling
and spinning and laughing!

On our way back, I watch you, climbing the stairs. Putting in the effort.

One step at a time. That's all it takes. One step at a time. One challenge at a time. Some may be tougher than others.
The secret is to keep on moving, to keep on going. To never give up. Like you have.

Life is memories
Teachable ones

That no one can take away from us.
Ever 🥹🙏🏻💙⭐️

You surprised your Pappa so much today Liam!! You are a champ! ⭐️🎉👊🏻🏊🏻‍♂️

Thank you Tristan for telling us to keep on going even though Liam refused to get into the water at a time.

We'll keep on swimming and swimming and swimming!

Water has a powerful attraction to so many Autistic children. Drowning is sadly a reality which is not uncommon amongst severe Autistic children. Liam has no sense or fear of danger. (Whether it is being safe on the road or on the roof or being safe in the water.)

Getting Liam water safe is one of our biggest goals and a necessity in our world.

This is a HUGE blessing to us!!

Liam, you make me so proud! 🥹🙏🏻🎉⭐️❤️

(Just to give some background:

We practice to write Liam's name a lot. This day, however, I gave Liam paper to draw. He drew on another paper. When I came back to the table, he was gone.
I saw this:
On a new paper.
His name.
Without prompting 😉🙏🏻⭐️)

When parenting runs on 2 hours of sleep and pure confusion ☕🤣

When your husband's sweater goes into the washing machine...and comes out of the tumble dryer perfect for Liam 😳😱🤦‍♀️

How did I miss this?! 🤣

I will never get used to your hand:

Willingly
Seeking and
Searching for mine

I will never get used to your hand:

Comfortable
Relaxed and
Content, pressing against mine

I will never get used to us:

Strolling
Absorbing
Appreciating and
Breathing

NOT running,
NOT grabbing,
NOT clenching,
NOT anxious,
NOT holding you back from darting into any random direction,
Trying to break free from me,
From my grip on your hand, your arm
Me, trying to keep you safe

I will never take anything in Life for granted.
Ever.

Liam,
I will never get used to your calm body,

I will never get used to your hand🥹💙
