Today is my Cody Lewis birthday. Hes 16 years old. It has been quite the winding road. When he was born and up until he was about 3, I never even thought about Autism....it never crossed my mind. He was a fat, blonde hair, blue eyed baby. People would just stop and look at him....he was one of those kids who people were drawn to. He had the best laugh and the warmest hugs....the sloppiest spit-filled kisses. Ever since he was about three though....I have lived in constant fear. What was going to happen to him? Would he ever talk? Would he ever be potty trained? Would he be accepted? I had friends and family alienate us....we had family members throwing parties for their kids in secrecy so that we would not come. Things have made me hard....these things created a sadness in me that I never knew existed. Cody though is light. He is nothing but love and acceptance. I am so very blessed that God chose me to be his mom. The kid that walks into a room and makes everyone glad that hes there. The kid that always has some kind of compliment for everyone. The kid who provides the smiles. I am so blessed. My heart is no longer sad. Happy Birthday, Cody!! I love you more than you will ever know and I will ALWAYS be your biggest fan!
