#happybirthday Anthony, today you turn
#15 I
#loveyou for never judging those who judge you. I love you for always, without fail, being YOU. I love you for
#helping me see the way you view the world and for not giving up on me for my lack of understanding. I love you for loving me in your perfectly beautiful way. Regardless of what happens, where this journey takes us and the bumps in the road-please know this: I will always
#believe in you. No matter what the doctors, teachers, or assessments say. I will always
#walk with you. I may be in front clearing the way. I may be beside you, waiting and ready to hold your outstretched hand. I may be behind you-ready to catch you when you fall. But I
#guarantee I will be there; you can count on it! I will always
#push you to do more, to be more, to
#exceed limits and to reach your full
#potential . I want you to be the best version of yourself. I want you to “be you” with
#no #consequences from others. I will never allow
#Autism to
#define you or us. You are so much more than any
#diagnosis . You are
#brave and
#smart . You are
#adventurous , curious and funny. You love lights,
#mario and
#Disney . You are a son, brother, cousin, nephew, grand son and friend. I will always be your
#voice . When your 15, 44, or 64- I will continue to ensure that your needs are being met. I will advocate for you as long as I live. I will always try to
#teach others about Autism. I will always
#lead by
#example and
#teach you about
#kindness ,
#patience and
#understanding .
