Friendship

Maybe this post will make little sense to you who speak with your mouths. It will totally make sense to the nonspeakers out there though. All my life, before spelling, there was a pain in my heart that had nothing to do with my inability to speak. Can you imagine your life without friends? I personally am as intensely grateful for my friends as I am for my ability to speak. I was beyond lonely before we came to M2H. I only get to come here and to see them once a week, but knowing I have friends and am loved by them has utterly changed my life. 


Appearances can be deceiving, and I know that on the outside, we look autistic. But on the inside, we are intensely social people. Having friends gives me the love and fun I so desperately missed. 

I am kind of teary inside writing this. Having lived in a friendless world, I remember only too well how it felt. The never-ending heartache was agonizing. Being that way for so long was horrible. Now I wake up each day in happiness. Getting sentimental for a moment, people really, it so seems, need other people.

Hastening to finish this, let me say that love is the most important thing on earth. My knowing that there are people who love and value me has made wishes come true.
