you have no idea just how beautiful this is to me- and my tears are a mix of so many things-
I thought immediately about a little 2 year old boy that I worked with- he had not yet been diagnosed, but later, with PDD (Pervasive Developmental Disorder), this is on the Autism Spectrum-
the other teachers I worked with, though wonderful people, had, sort of, "given up" on this little boy-
he wouldn't look at anyone in the morning when said hello to... (and other things)
I wouldn't give up on him-
I saw something in him-
something I didn't understand, but something- I COULD NOT GIVE UP ON HIM-
I kept saying hello to him, with no response, until one morning...
he looked directly at me, and said "hi, michelle"-
tears (again) came to my eyes- happy tears- SO VERY HAPPY- I said hi back to him and hugged him...
