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...

Year of Faith
Begun on October 11, 2012 (the 50th anniversary of the opening of Vatican Council II) the Year of Faith highlights the New Evangelization, reproposing the gospel message to all peoples. Click on the logo above for more information.
The best place to start is always one of your local Catholic churches. Drop in some Sunday and see what's going on. Then you might speak to the pastor or someone on the parish staff about how they can help you and respond to your questions.
