The flower that blooms in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of all. ~mulan
Some of you know that my two year old son is autistic. Today's quote from Rhonna filled my heart with gratitude for him, so I dedicate my pages to him today. He has had to overcome some adversity learning to live in this world with autism. We certainly don't define him by the label, but it does affect his everyday life. I think any parent would agree that our children teach us so many life lessons. We are better people because of them.
April is Autism Awareness month. Scrapbooking extraordinaire Ali Edwards also has a son with autism. On her Cafe Press site she has items with a slogan she designed for Autism Awareness month. All proceeds will go towards the Getting the Word Out campaign.
