The insight of a 5-year-old

[lisaann1170]

My son sees his grandpa quite frequently and has witnessed the changes in his health. Sunday, I talked to him about Grandpa's new feeding tube and the possibility of a "computer that talks for him."

On the subject of a Dynavox, my brilliant son replied, "Don't worry, Mommy. It's still Grandpa thinking. The computer wouldn't work without him."

Such simple statements. Such a profound concept.

It's nice to have a child around to set me straight.

Wow, now that was inspiring. I think that is about the sweetest thing anyone could say. Make's you see illness in a total different light doesn't it?
