My Mom

The most wonderful gift I ever received is spelling. I definitely am grateful to my Mom and Dad for never giving up on me even though I can tell that I am incredibly impaired in terms of not only autism but also OCD and motor skills. I think about a lot of things this time of year, and lately I’ve been thinking especially of the way my Mom fights for me. I never want her to think that I don’t notice, or that I take it for granted. I therefore am writing an open letter to my Mom.

I am one of the luckiest people on earth in my Mom. I have some semblance of happiness in life because she gave it to me. I have the ability to write this blog because she gave it to me. I can talk to people today because she believed in me. I love you Mom more than I can say. I am so thankful for you.
