My husband are in this weird space right now. When we walk in the door, there is silence. When we look around, there is not much to pick up other than the mess we created. We look at each other. We realize we spent a lifetime together, and we have more to do. Of course this is all typical for parents who have children who age out, but it is particularly special for us because we have windows of normalcy when life allows us to just be. Our daughter is doing very well this semester and it has given us time to rest. It is also given us time to reflect and acknowledge how fortunate we are. Every person with a child on the spectrum experiences life differently and their families do as well. It is always a blessing to know that we are in this together.
