Some days, I hate autism and what it has done to my son.
Most days, I know that perfect health was never guaranteed.
Some days, I am hurt by the lack of compassion and understanding around us.
Most days, I can remember how little I knew before we got the diagnosis.
Some days, I feel like we are locked in a hopeless battle.
Most days, I know we will win.
Some days, I wish I knew then what I know now.
Most days, I am grateful that I keep learning.
Some days, I am too tired to go on and I want to give up.
Most days, I am proud that it is my hand he holds on his way out of the abyss.
Some days, I mourn the loss of the child I had before autism took him away.
Every day, I am overwhelmed with love for the incredible child he is today.
