Here is my super hero. He doesn't normally wear a cape and a mask. He can not leap tall buildings in a single bound, no webs shoot from his wrists, he can't fly, but I think he is AMAZING! Not too long ago, I was having a pitty party and wondering "Why, God? Why my child?" I have often voiced this question out loud. Then one day at work He spoke to me. I was working on cases of children who had been neglected and/or abused. God said to me, "You ask why Grant. What do you think would happen if I had chosen one of these children instead?" Wow! It was then that I realized that Danny and I had been chosen for a most special mission - to do our best and be our best to be the parents and advocates this amazing little man deserves. Why God chose me, I may never know. I sit and watch Grant as he works so hard to do things and say things that come so naturally to the rest of us. No matter how difficult the task, he presses on. He is so determined to do what others do and communicate with other people. If he is unable to say the words, he always finds another way to communicate his message. Just this morning, we were outside, he was playing and I was sitting, enjoying the moment watching him. He looked at me and said "Momma" and started beating his chest like Tarzan, then he stood up, leaned forward and threw his arms behind him like batman does when he is flying (and of course Grant had on his Batman pj's), then he ran over grabbed my hand, turned away from me and put his other fist in the air just as Superman does when he is saving Loise Lane. Oh little man, you have no idea just how super your momma thinks you are!
