So let me tell you about a friend i have. It started a few months ago when i firs met him. I saw him sitting on the floor playing and when i walked in the room the first thing he did was look at me and stretch his arms out. He had no idea who i was or what i was doing. All he wanted to do was share the love. I bent down and picked him and immediately received a hug. From that point on i knew things weren't going to be the same. I love this little guy and regardless of what sort of day i am having he always finds a way to cheer me up. whether he knows it or not.
Sure he has his days when he is frustrated or just plain grumpy but even then he is still a joy to be around. I think it is because whenever i look at him i don't see a 2 year old with a learning disability or anything like that. I look at him and i see hope.
If the Dr.'s were right then he should have been dead. He was born early due to a car crash and the Docs didn't even give him 24 hours. Well 24 months later he is still alive and kicking..and slapping...and sometimes headbutting. When he is happy there is enough joy to light up the entire house. If he starts laughing then everyone around him cant help but to laugh. I love this kid and i know he feels the same way. Because he knows when i am sad and he knows just how to cheer me up.
I think in the end we could all use a little Logan in our lives.
Oh my gosh Michael you made me cry. What a wonderful post. Logan's lucky to have you. And we are too.
