Bryson is hard. Bryson has severe autism. He doesn't like noise. He doesn't like busyness. He doesn't like little kids who annoy him. He eats only a few types of food. He hates school. He doesn't accept authority from men, including Dale. My household has been in chaos these past few months, as we all try to adjust to him, and allow him to adjust to us. There have been some very, very difficult times. But there have been a lot of really awesome times!
Bryson is fascinated with old cars. He can tell you the make, model, and year of almost every car he sees. He can draw logos from memory, and he is really good at it. He loves to collect rocks and will spend hours admiring their beauty. Bryson doesn't smile much, but when he does, it is priceless! Bryson loves animals. Bryson loves clouds, and can tell you the names of the different ones. Bryson is unique, and that is refreshing! He is fiercely loyal to Rory, even when Rory is being a brat to him.
I have asked his birthmother if we can kind of "co-parent". She can keep him during the week, and I can pick him up and keep him on the weekends. Hoping we can have him over the summer, and can even take him on vacation with us. She agreed, and I pray she does allow these things. No matter how hard he has been for us, we love him, and want to continue a relationship with him. He is very special to me!
Lord, please help our hearts tonight, as we prepared to let Bryson go again. It is not any easier this time than it was last time. Lord, please protect him, grow him, and let him know in his little heart how much we love him. Let him know he is smart, and special. Please let us see him again, often, and let our relationship grow and grow. Thank you for the time we have had with Bryson. The good and the bad. Please help us mostly remember the good.
