ONCE UPON A GENE - EPISODE 238

Where the Glimmers Can Surface

We were at our beloved park— the one we helped renovate to be inclusive and accessible, then made a trip to a nearby grocery store nearby. Ford loves automatic doors. The grocery store has the usual automatic doors at the entrance, but also has big black swinging doors at the rear of the store, where the employees pass back and forth as they restock the store. It was a slow time of day and the doors weren't swinging back and forth. Ford was determined, running his wheelchair into them, but the doors still were not swinging. At my suggestion that we go to the front of the store to watch the automatic doors, Ford had the ultimate meltdown, biting his arm and making himself bleed. He was screaming, holding onto his wheelchair tire so I couldn't move it and I felt like every eye was watching me as I tried to get him out of the store. We returned to the playground and his little sister approached him, asking him questions, and offering a special leaf bandaid. She returns with a stick and a leaf and she put the leaf on his arm, gently rolling the stick across it. Ford immediately stopped crying and began smiling. I immediately took my phone from my bag because I never want to forget that moment. I've always worried that my kids weren't connecting, but my daughter seems aware enough to nurture Ford in the way he needs. It was a beautiful moment, it was growth, it was a glimmer in our favorite park. In the rare disease life, especially in the really annoying moments, that's where the glimmers can surface— so keep chasing glimmers my friends!
