I wish I could condense it all, all the stories, happenings, life and be able to share it all as it unfolds, but I seem to always be running behind, pulling my scattered thoughts in my wake.
I wish I could think how to share the hard news in a way that conveyed the reality of the grace that enfolds us in every one of those moments.
I wish I could show you into the center of my heart...then you would know.
You would know what we felt when we were told eldest son has Asperger's. Not surprise, more of a deeper understanding and insight into our precious son. You would know that the beginning of this felt like being plunged into an ocean of information with a desperate need to swim through it all. You would know the waves that came later, "What if...?" "Why didn't we see...?" "What next?" . Some of the questions are the same as they have always been when you consider your child's life and future, but rightly or wrongly they've become tinged with a deeper weight and concern.
You would know that we are held in the peace of knowing that the God who made our son, foresaw this before he was even ours. Asperger's doesn't change who our son is, it isn't a deviation in the plan of God for his life, it is a piece of who he is and we are blessed, so blessed to be our son's parents.
