My son, who is autistic, was talking to his girlfriend on the phone. He was on speaker, so it was impossible not to hear what both of them were saying in my tiny house. At one point his girlfriend became very quiet, and for a moment I thought that she was upset with him, but then she said, "I wanna marry you. I wanna take our kids to McDonald's for Happy Meals."
It was so sweet, so innocent, that it made me catch my breath.
That's what life is about. Love and Happy Meals.
