Kate thank you for sharing your feelings with us, it also helps us. I feel the hurt with my granddaughter sometimes like you were feeling in Target. I look at my almost 13 yr old angel and other students in her grade being cheerleaders, running, dancing, etc. (that she can’t do). It makes me sad for a while but then I think that she could have a peg tube, oxygen, etc. I then thank God for my sweet angel. He knew what he was doing when we were blessed with these special needs kids. We don’t really know “why” now but someday soon we will. God bless Cooper, Kate, and the rest of the family. Love to all.

Wonderfully written account of the moment, Kate. Thanks for providing yet another glimpse into the world of a parent of a child with autism
