Oh me of little faith

"I can't wait till Grant's 11th birthday", Owen told Staci while on the way to pick Grant up from school.

Staci pondered where he was going with that statement, wondering if he just forgot how old Grant was, or... "11th birthday?"

"Yeah, his 11th birthday is going to be so great. He's going to start talking on his 11th birthday. That's what I prayed to God and Jesus for. I want Grant to be able to talk just like us. He's going to talk like us on his 11th birthday."

And just like that, Owen let us know just how aware he is of Grant's autism and how much he loves his brother. And just like that, he reminded us to remember our dreams - don't give up Mommy and Daddy!
