This is my grandson, 14 month old "D". He is stepping out of his play house.
I am prejudice, I am sure; but he has the sweetest heart, a loving heart.
There is a 12 year old boy we see fairly often and "D" keeps trying
to get his attention to come and play. The 12 year old has autism
and doesn't talk or engage with anyone.
A few days ago the 12 year old was lounging on the floor and
"D" wanted him to come and play.
He patted him on the head with both hands, but had no response.
He stepped away briefly and decided to go back and try again.
This time he sat on his hands and leaned into his chest to sit with him.
Still no response.
Briefly he left again and then turned and tried one more time.
This time he wrapped his arms around this 12 year old boy,
put his head on his shoulder, hugged him, and gave him a kiss.
The 12 year old sat up and had a small smile on his face.
"D" had done his job by showing love to someone
that is closed within himself.
Witnessing this just touched a grammy's heart.
The heart of this little one can teach us all lessons of love.
Now isn't that what the season of Christmas is all about?
Love!
