Ryan's Very Special Arts choir concert went well last Sunday. Here he is in his role as sign person. My camera took some pretty blurry shots. I have autofocus and I think something is wrong with it. Nuts!
The concert was lovely. The participants all looked happy and thrilled to be there. The audience was attentive and appreciative.
Directly afterwards Ryan had a Thanksgiving Feast with Best Buddies. The college buddies provided everything and did an amazing job. All in all a very busy day with church in the morning as well.
Adulthood has really been Ryan's time to shine. When our kids are children it's all about compliance. When they're adults the beauty of their uniqueness shines. They are able to choose what they want to do and their natural abilities emerge, in spite of their disabilities.
If you have a child with special needs and you are frustrated, don't despair. While I don't want you to wish away your special someone's childhood, just know that better days may be coming.
God bless you and yours,
Much love and joy,
Karen
