Recently, I have been driving a stretch of highway, back and forth, to visit an ailing and very special uncle of mine. He is in his last battle and so we have been making trips as often as possible. Along this strecth of highway is a sign proclaiming May 21 as JUDGEMENT DAY. As a Christian, I find this perposterous! It is clear in the Book of Revelations that "...we shall not know the day nor the hour..." To me, I have always understood that my day and hour will be different from everyone else's day and hour. It could be 2 hours from now.....or 40 years from now. The question is, am I ready. I don't mean to be marose with this posting....on the contrary. Being the product of older parents (my mother was 41 aand my father 62 when I was born), I have witnessed the passing of many family member over time. I have come to recognize it as a "passing to life" rather than a "passing away." I am sure that is what my uncle is experiencing......a "passing to life and light!"
So why am I writting about this on my blog dedicated to parenting my Aspie kids? Well, it does have me thinking.....what if my "Judgement Day" will be sooner rather than later..... What if my Aspie sons are not ready for when my "Judgement Day" arrives. Who will take care of them, who will show them how to adapt, who will teach them what they need to know to survive. I am not so worried about my oldest, he is doing so well right now....but my middle son is such in the throws of it right now.....
I must apologize.....I seem to be in a rather serious mind set right now.
Thanks for this post. I am glad we have gotten to visit a little. And by the way, if you ever needed to, you could send them to cousin Cathy's house ;o)
