The tease.

I am impatient. I want it now. If only the world worked that way.

Today Tiger teased me. For those that do not know, Tiger is my autistic son. Today he grabbed me and handed me a book. Wow! He wants me to read to him! Or so I thought. It seems we did not make this flying leap toward normalcy. As soon as we sat down and started reading, he closed the book and moved to something else.

It seems this journey is taken in baby steps. Sure, sometimes we have breakthroughs. But, most of the progress comes in little advancements. This is a game of inches.

I’ll keep my eye on the goal line and take it down by down.
