The most random thing that has ever made me cry

  In editing Autisable, and having a son with Autism who has challenges speaking, it's difficult at times to watch children go through life like I did - with a sense of relative normalcy. Maybe it's because I don't know if my son will ever graduate school, get married, and enjoy life like the rest of us 'normal' people. It's that lack of knowledge that can pull one into a state of stress and emotions that reach far beyond what the average person has to deal with. So, this past week I came across an article and video that is rather inspiring - and in many respects provides a sense of hope. The hope of what may be possible with my own son. After reading the story - HERE - I found myself in the midst of the struggle this young man's parents went through.  It reminded me that I'm not alone and that there is hope. With e overwhelming sense of emotions at imagining my own son giving that speech - I cried like a little baby. (hey men cry....deal with it) ------------------------------------- What is the most random thing that has ever made you cry?
