Epiphany

The following thoughts came to me after re-reading my most recent post:
It is very hard not to get overwhelmed by the present and to not worry about the future. The only way to remain positive is to just deal with Today. Ironically, Dalin is the best example on how to take things one day at a time. One of the gifts of his Autism is that he is always “in the moment”. Fifteen minutes ago is already forgotten. An hour from now is not even on his radar. He does not regret, and he does not worry. He is just happy to be jumping up and down (and breaking my things). Maybe he is trying to teach me that things are not what's important, that people are. Maybe his understanding of love is greater than I thought. Boy, I have a lot to learn! All this time I have worried about how to teach my son, and just maybe the reality is that God sent Dalin to teach me.
