Today, my heart walked even though my feet could not...

Missing the Angels Walk for Autism was not easy... As a father, every opportunity to stand beside my child and show support means the world to me... Not being physically present today felt like a deep absence, but my spirit, my love, and my pride were there with every step taken...

While I wasn’t among the crowd, I followed from afar... I thought about the families, the laughter, the signs of hope, and most of all, the incredible children, each one a shining light in their own unique way. I thought about my child, who teaches me every day about resilience, love without conditions, and the beauty of being exactly who you are...

To all who walked today, thank you... You carried not just your own hopes but the hopes of parents like me, cheering from a distance but deeply connected. And to my child. I may have missed the walk, but I’ll never miss a chance to walk beside you in life, every step of the way...

Today reminded me that progress doesn’t always come with applause, it often arrives quietly, almost unnoticed... Vian didn’t say anything new, but he made it through a noisy area without covering his ears... That might seem small, but I know how hard it was for him. And I saw the effort in his eyes...

There was a moment when he stood still, overwhelmed by the sounds around us... I instinctively reached for his hand, and he didn’t pull away... That touch, his choice to accept it—was everything... It felt like trust. And trust, in our world, is sacred...

As his father, I often wrestle with feeling like I should be able to protect him from everything... But I’m learning that I can’t always remove the obstacles... Sometimes, my job is just to stand beside him while he faces them...

I don’t always get it right... I lose patience... I get tired... But every day, he shows me what strength really is, and he teaches me how to love better, deeper, and more quietly...

Tonight, I’m ending the day with gratitude... Not because everything went smoothly, but because we made it through, together...

❤️❤️❤️
