Looking for Bambi...
posted by David Meigs at 5/04/2006 01:01:00 AM
Each day at sunrise and again at sunset, my youngest son Johnny (13) has been searching for Bambi. This morning he was rewarded with a doe with her little one munching grass in our yard.

He was so excited. I think he thought that Flower and the rest of the gang would also pop out of the woods. We do have our share of skunks, so I was relieved that Flower didn’t make an appearance.

My heart aches because of his autism and I wish he could talk, or even go to the toilet without help. I don’t know why he is the way he is, or why the Lord let it happen.

All I know is that Johnny is the most beautiful child in the world. I’ve been transformed by his sweetness, purity of heart and perfect joy. I love you son. You make me so proud.

It takes a special family to love and care for these little gems.

Not all kids receive the love they need and it must bring the Lord such pain. But, when the families He's chosen to care for these kids, love them as much as you do, it must bring great joy to His heart.

The Lord holds every child in the palm of His hand. He watches over them and rewards those who care for them.

Young Johnny and all your children, are so blessed to have such parents as you and Darla.

You must bring such joy to the Father's heart as He sees the love you share.

God bless you, my friend.

God bless you Dave. I actually have four different friends who all have an autistic child. Did you know that out of every 1000 children, 5 of them will be autistic.

I have been especially heartened with my friend Debbie. They have poured their time and talent in their som Merlin...today at the age of ten, you wouldn't know he was autistic if you just met him!

God bless these precious children!

Bonnie,

Your friend Debbie sounds a lot like my Darla. She was the first to reach into his little world and to draw him into ours.
