This week, we reached another milestone at our house! Oh boy, Colin turned 16! 16....WHAT! Yes, his looked a little different, seeing we're not shopping for cars and getting a drivers license, instead his excitement came from receiving Funyuns, stretchy bands, and eating a powdered doughnut cake. Nonetheless, it was a great moment on our journey! This child has taught us so much and nowadays with RFK Jr setting dates on releasing answers to all this autism epidemic stuff, Colin's birthday reminded me that for us, no matter what comes out, our life remains the same. So, we continue to celebrate uniquely and we embrace the milestones knowing though different, still joyful! Oh, what a great life we've been blessed with! This boy of mine has given me so much meaning and added a purpose to my life. I know God didn't do this to Colin, but I do know that he's given me beauty for the ash! So, it feels pretty darn good to know we've conquered the hard when he was little and with this birthday we enjoyed the easy, breezy fun a birthday has to offer. What a blessing! I loved every ounce of the celebration and seeing Colin's smile was the icing on the cake.....or, for us, the powder on the doughnut, lol!
