The Blue Light.
By Jennifer Baretta
In the suburbs, in a small town, on a quiet street, there was a blue-gray house.
Outside this blue-gray house on the side of the door there was an outdoor light.
The light was blue. The blue light represented and symbolized what was inside the blue-gray house on that quiet street.
Inside that house was a family bound together by so much strength.
This family has been through it all and was still able to smile.
The light symbolized their strength, their dignity, their love and compassion.
And their will to never give up on their oh so very special child.
The light symbolized the hurt, the pain, the hidden tears that streamed down their faces behind their closed doors when they thought they couldn’t do it another day.
The light symbolized their hope, their prayers, their support systems of amazing friends and family they were surrounded by.
The blue light that hung upon the blue-gray house was their cry, their voice, to spread awareness, compassion, acceptance and to take action in their mission.
The blue light on the blue-gray house on the quiet street in the small town in the suburbs, yes that blue light, was their love and acceptance for their son. T
he little boy who changed them, the little boy who taught them what life was really about.
Yes, that light was for that precious little boy who has to battle through most days and is still able to light up a room with his smile.
The blue light means we will never give up, as long as it takes, we will never give up until every piece fits.
Autism Awareness, compassion, acceptance, love, empathy, strength, hope, and the blue light.
