It’s so different than I ever thought we would be celebrating him!
All I can say is that David is the largest lesson I’ve had in my life and I could not have asked for a better lesson in true love, innocence, and determination.
He is my hero in every sense of the word. I’ve seen him do things that his body tries to deny him the ability to do. Having the skills to do something as simple as choosing a specific toy from his toy basket requires so much trial and error for him. Yet...he gets it every time. We take for granted being able to walk. He manages to get anywhere he needs to go by means of scooting.
He’s simply amazing.
Turning 21 is a whole new ballgame for a special needs individual. All the programs and services provided to “pediatrics” (birth-21) are gone. So this a new navigational process for him and I. And it might be hard. But it’s well worth the years I get to have him on earth as an adult. Advocating for someone you love is easy. And natural.
I can’t believe he went from my beautiful blonde baby.......
To my super handsome, chiseled looking adult
I love you so much David Webb! You keep my world turning!
