Thank you Mom for Giving me Strength

To the best grandma and mother,

Thank You! 

Thank you for taking your two Autistic grandchildren once a week for 3 years so I could have a break.

A break to recompose myself.

A break to have a date night with my husband.

A break to go to Walmart without screaming kids.

A break to sleep.

A break from being a special needs mom for a few hours.

I could go on and on about the breaks I get to have thanks to you!

Thank you for being the grandma my kids need.

Thank you for always showing them love and attention.

Thank you for picking me up when I’m down. 

Thank you for giving me the strength I need to carry on.

Thank you for helping me ease my burdens and trials.

Thank you for all your sacrifices you have made for my family’s behalf.

I love you Mom!
