I have a very special little boy who gives me a reason to fight for
Autism awareness! To watch my baby overcome so many obstacles in his 5
short years of life not only inspires me to be a better mom, but to be a
better person. To look back on when we began this journey to where we
are today brings more HOPE to my heart than ever before. I don't know
why we were chosen to be on this path, but I praise Jesus for the
comfort and power He has given me as a mother to help my baby fight
back! I also thank Jesus for all of the doctors, specialist, and
teachers who have fought along side us to provide Avery with the best
care. Today, World Autism Awareness Day, I have HOPE that we find a
cure, just as I will always have HOPE in my precious Avery!
