...exposure.
As I stood peering through the sidelights of our front door, this was the scene.
I watched for quite sometime, and Mac never moved. I longed to be in his mind, share his thoughts, but dared not interrupt the private world of an Aspie. He looked so vulnerable sitting there, exposed to the sun, the breeze, the people who happened along the street. He looked so alone. My mind began to race forward with so many worries, what-ifs. Will my son be a survivor, a success? Will he overcome the stigma...the people who doubt his capabilities simply because of a diagnosis? Will he be alright when his father and I are no longer here to watch over him? Sometimes thinking is just too much. So I picked up my camera, snapped a photo, and as I did Mac called, "Hey mom. Come here."
"Hi, sweetie. What'cha doing?"
"Mom, have you ever watched the leaves on the trees in the wind? It's really nice that God takes the time to send the wind to dance with the leaves."
I felt my heart flutter. The worries vanished...at least for this moment. I felt relaxed with the thought of my son out there in the big world...without me...but with God...who takes the time to send the wind to dance with the leaves.
