For the past two nights I have taken Nick to the filming of the NBC special Byron Allen Presents Comedy and Music Superfest which will air this Saturday. I know this does not sound like a big deal, because you guys know I take Nick everywhere, but it was a big deal. It was big because, first because we were there. And, then on day two Nick sat in the front row where he was included with everyone else. Not tucked back in the crowd, but right up front!
He was not included as a special needs kiddo, he was included as a young man excited to enjoy the show like everyone else, and enjoy he did! Tell all of your friends to watch and cheer on our kiddo!
My goal as Nick's mom has always been for him to have the fullest life possible, no limits! When Nick was 7 a mom asked "Why do you take Nick everywhere with you?" She was not being mean, rather she knew how much effort it took to bring him along with this constant tantrums and crying as he struggled to navigate the world. Still for me, I never questioned if he should go anywhere his family went. To the contrary, I never thought his disability should deprive him of the right to take part in everything. I was not going to let the world drive us into isolation, for convenience.All of the work, all those years of taking him out have paid off for both of us. These last few nights I was the happiest mom. My face muscles hurt from smiling as I experienced the gift of successful inclusion and witnessed moments where his face lit up with pure joy! A joy that only comes from being with people.
Nick doesn't know a thing about celebrity and he doesn't care. What he cares about - that was so clear - was the music and the excitement of being in a crowd of happy people. He stood when we stood, he clapped when we clapped and he laughed when we laughed.

Happy Mom enjoying the show! |
Most of all I felt gratitude. Gratitude because sitting in the front row of a show, that Byron was making for families, all families, was our family. Our family with our special needs kiddo, who reflects so many families was right there, front and center included for the world to see!
Thank you Byron! Thank you Byron's family and the entire AMG team!
Thank you Carolyn for all you do, including having raised a good man. I love you, and I am honored to be part of your extended family!

Hi,
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I would like to appreciate you for this wonderful piece of blog. This is exactly what I was looking for. Keep it up and keep posting such content.
The lifestyle of people is too busy and bad and the quality of food items is also diminishing with time. This leads to many diseases that develop in the body. Sexual disease or problems are one of them. There are many people who are suffering from sexual problems like ED that are destroying their relationships but they feel shy to talk to someone about their problems. People should consult a doctor instead of hiding their problems. Medicros Pharmacy is an ED Problem Medicine line Cenforce Fildena Vigora ETC that doctors recommend the most as it has no side effects.
