This is my beautiful little man, Wyatt. Wyatt was born with pachygyria, one of the conditions under the "umbrella term" lissencephaly. On Monday, June 24, Wyatt and our family will begin genetic testing to discover the specific type of pachygyria/lissencephaly that he has and whether my other children may be carriers. As I think about the last 8 years, I wonder whether this knowledge will change anything. I know it may help my other children in their future, but hope it doesn't change things. I have learned so much from my journey with Wyatt.
Patience: Walk slowly, taking each step with purpose. Take time to make decisions.
Strength: Never give up. Work through every challenge. Enjoy the challenge even if you fail.
Attitude: Remain positive. Embrace failure and learn from it. Try everything.
Love: Love others just the way they are. Hug and kiss often. Give to others.
My children will have their own journeys. They will remember these lessons and learn some of their own. Though their paths may be different, they will always take the lessons along.
