Love of My Life



Reece and I were talking about growing up and he began to show some anxiety.

He said, "I don't want to grow up and move into a new house." I told him he didn't have to do that. He asked if he could stay with me even when he was a teenager, even when he was a grown-up? I responded, "Yes."

(Ron and I often talk about plans for Reece, knowing that he may not ever want to get married and move away from home. Sometimes people on the Autism spectrum grow up and get married, sometimes they don't. We are trying to prepare for either path Reece might take.)

Reece then said, "I just can't find the love of my life." Something tells me he WILL find her some day and it makes my heart feel kind of squeezy.
