You’ve made it Lyra & Sasha! You’ve been here and in our lives for six years today. Happy birthday.
And although you both are just starting to read (and in Lyra’s case, just starting to really talk!), I wanted to give you some advice and ideas to look to every so often.
1) You have a disability; it’s called Autism. But you have never let that stop you or have used it as an excuse. Keep trying as hard as you do and you will ALWAYS be rewarded.
2) Don’t worry if people – even the ones you love – don’t always get you. That’s not about you; it’s about them.
3) You have tons of talents and skills. Use those to make connections and contacts when you can’t do it any other way.
4) Love each other, always. As much as I try to keep you as individuals, you have a special connection as twins. There will be times I will not be there for you, even if I want to be. That’s when having a twin sister is so special.
5) Speaking of love, know that your Daddy and I – as well as all your family, love you… no matter what.
Happy Birthday Lyra and Sasha!!! Thank you for sharing this occasion with your readers Shannon. I hope you, your husband and the girls have a great day. And best wishes for a fantastic year ahead filled with more love, laughter, good health and all that you wish for!
