moments of an Aspie parent

[Guest guest]

Wanted to

share something with you all. It’s a poem my 12 yo daughter wrote last

night.

She is

having a hard time at the moment. Her best friend died last week (was actually

beaten to death by his father). She’s having a hard time understanding it

as well as dealing with him being gone. Jalen was the one who stuck up for her

when she was being picked on. He was the only one who really “got”

her.

She wrote

this poem last night. I’m at a crossroads at how I should feel about it.

On one end I’m ecstatic that she is able to express herself like this and

that it actually makes sense and is in the right context and format, etc. On

the other hand, you can feel the grieving and confusion in her words. The grief

counselor at school told her that you can talk to people in Heaven. Kaelyn, of

course took this literally, so I had to explain it to her last night.

Anyway, attached

is what she wrote.
