My Sweet Anson





Our 6-year old grandson has autism and because of it he doesn't interact well with people. At our family reunion it was wonderful to see him running and exploring and enjoying the freedom of wide open spaces. After an hour or so of this, he came to me, hugged me and said "sit down please". So I sat there in the grass and he sat with me for half an hour or so. We didn't talk much but I enjoyed spending this unexpected time with him just sitting and resting. I always enjoy my time with Anson - he's a sweet little boy.
