5 years ago Today the passing of a loved one and Diagnosed with Autism

5 years ago today my beloved mother passed away.  It’s amazing how time flies .. Mom even though your no longer here with us on earth you are still in our hearts.  We love you and miss you everyday.  May you be resting in peace and enjoying your loved ones up there.  Love you and miss mom. 

On Friday we received the word that our grandson Toby does in fact have Autism.  It was no shock to the family as it has been suspected for some time.  Toby has been diagnosed to be moderately.  So Monday night my ex daughter in law to be and his daddy and I went to a meeting in Springfield where they teach you about how to deal with the children with special needs.  Papa stayed home with the kids and had fun babysitting.

Of course we are thankful that it could be much worse.  We have been dealing with Toby’s special needs since he came into this world and so there really isn’t any difference to us.  We love him and will continue to deal with his needs.  I think his mother wanted the diagnoses so that the school would deal with him in a better way.  Their all about the paper work. 

I managed to struggle through the meeting as I knew I was coming down with something.  I started running a fever and aching all over in the midst of the meeting.  Once we got out to the car I took some Tylenol to help with the fever and aching. Once we got home it got worse and so I went to bed. 

I woke up during the night and you can guess what happened …. YEP .. it started coming out both ends .. them little grands gave me their flu they had last week!

Of course it’s still cold outside and even though the sun is shining the wind is blowing and even though tomorrow is the first day of spring and of course it’s only going to be around 35 degrees!  Ughhh I’m so ready for warmth and able to get outside and enjoy some fresh air. 

Hope you are all having a great day!
