Do you ever feel like you’ve encountered an angel in your life? I have. I feel like I’ve crossed plenty of angels in my lifetime, but most importantly since I’ve had children. I’ve asked for guidance when I felt desperate and lost without hope, and somehow I am always led to comfort.

Angels are people that suddenly show up in your life and lift your spirits back to where they should be. Angels are also people that are so willing to help in situations that seem impossible.

I believe that some of the angels who have crossed my path are:

The teachers who’ve been slapped, kicked, and screamed at, but continued to smile and strive for a response from a child with autism.

The friends, who I’ve bitched at, cried with, laughed with, or just sat silently with.

The unconditional love a sibling gives to her brother or sister with autism who shows no sign of love in return.

The speech teachers who never give up achieving an utter, a word, or a sentence from a child’s lips who cannot speak.

The elderly man who smiles so gently in line at the grocery store duing your child’s meltdown.

The many parents I meet at autism events, who eagerly share their compassion through their own stories.

Angels are ordinary people not afraid to share their hearts and put forth the effort for someone else.
