Hey Ladies! Today’s an important day for our family. My oldest son, Davis, is graduating from Elementary school! {{squeal in delight with teary eyes}}
It’s a big deal as he was diagnosed with high functioning autism at 4 years old. I share this with you for two reasons:
1. To apologize for taking the day off, even though it’s been a couple days since I’ve featured new tips. I feel terrible and really hope you understand.
2. I’m so emotional about today. I’ll be honest, I’m an emotional wreck. It’s a new chapter for our family as Davis embarks upon the unknown adventures of intermediate school and leaves the comfort and simplicity of elementary.
For some reason, I feel impressed to share with you a little bit of our story in hopes that it will inspire those women who are facing the same challenges.
The poems I featured in the post have given me strength in the darkest times. Put them in a pretty frame and they make an encouraging gift that I promise will last years. I still read mine regularly.
I guess today is a different kind of tip, one of encouragement to those who are struggling. I do to. I hope this lifts you up!
xoxo

Congrats to you both. My son is currently on the train towards a high functioning autism diagnosis so having others to look up to and see that there are pots of gold at the end of rainbows is wonderful. Thank you for sharing.
Congratulations! I hope that y'all have a wonderful day together! Thank you so much for sharing your story with us!
Congratulations! What an exciting day for your family. I love the t-shirts they are wearing in the pictures.
