We enjoyed spending Christmas with Sarah. She had a difficult time at first. Holiday's have always been hard for Sarah.
She told me that she really misses her sisters and her aunts and uncle. I told her that one day we would all be together again and celebrate the holiday's together.
I am amazed at how much she has grown. Yes, she still has melt downs from time to time, but she is getting better at communicating what is bothering her.
I remember the doctors telling us that she would probably never be able to communicate in a way we could understand and how she would never have facial expressions or be able to show affection in a proper way.
Hummmmm.....pictures are worth thousands of words. We had a great time :)
Thank you Sarah for inviting us over and thank you Monica for the wonderful meal you prepared for us :)
I hope that you have read my previous posts so that if you have a child/family member diagnosed with Autism you are ready for Thanksgiving.
We are going to Sarah's for Thanksgiving dinner. I don't know about you, but my children, other family members and good friends live across the United States in many different states.
So when it comes to the holidays many times we have to video chat.
Video chat is ok and I thank God for it, but it is still better when we can all be together and hug one another.
Be safe this Thanksgiving. Relax and enjoy yourself. Don't forget to set your scales back 10lbs LOL.
Don't be on pins and needles waiting for the next melt down, I did that and it made matters worse.
Have a good time and chances are everyone around you will have a good time too. Remember what you are truly thankful for and count your many blessings.
Me and my family wish you safe travels and a very Happy Thanksgiving.
