On my other son's birthday, Sean learned what heaven was....and what rainbow bridge was. Being autistic Sean never had any real concept of God or anything that wasn't tangible. But this has been changing at a fast pace, especially this year. His best friend with autism lost his guinea pig and was devasted. So I took this as an opportunity to teach Sean. I feel so much better knowing that know's all about Rainbow Bridge now. I came out of the bathroom tonight to find him on the couch with Rocky, and having quite a serious conversation. He was holding poor Rocky at forced attention (as always lol), and Rocky for once did not have that "glazed look" to his eyes as Sean went on. Rockies ears were forward watching Seans face the entire time.... as he told Rocky about Rainbow bridge. I hid around the corner and heard him whispering how he would play with other ferrets there until he came to be with him forever in heaven. That was about all I could hear. I would have given anything to have heard that conversation...anything. I love sharing these things with everyone also. But... I guess some things aren't meant to be heard.
