Hi,
My name is Diana, I have one daughter (27) and four boys (22) (14) (13) and (9). I have 1 grand-daughter in heaven and four grand-sons (7) (4) (1) and (2). I have been happily married for 14 years and 12 of them have been with the challenges of autism, and year 15 is this May. I used to hold support meetings for parents here in Madera, I did this for 4 1/2 years...But do to the lack of parental interest in recovering these children, In July of 2007, I stopped the support group...I still provide resources when the local agencies ask for them. Now we try and do as many family outings as possible. I homeschool Julian, and I am his teacher, doctor, nurse, one on one aide, and therapist for everything.
As long as God gives be breath, I will continue to keep looking under every stone, and move as many mountains as possible to help Julian recover, and be all GOD intended him to be. May GOD's glory shine through Julian for the world to see. amen y amen.

I wished upon a star
Once I wished upon a star,
For a Barbie doll and a pink corvette too.
Once I wished upon a star,
For a bike with tassels hanging.
Once I wished upon a star,
For a pair of roller skates.
Once I wished upon a star,
For a chance to be in the choir.
Once I wished upon a star,
To marry a handsome prince.
Once I wished upon a star,
For him to talk to me.
Once I wished upon a star,
To be a mommy someday.
Many, many, years ago when
I wished upon a star,
I never thought I would continue to
Wish upon the first night’s star.
Now my wishes have all changed,
Now they are for you.
Now I wish upon a star,
And wish for you to play.
Now I wish upon a star,
That a bike you will ride someday.
Now I wish upon a star,
That you can one day balance
on skates.
Now I wish upon a star,
To hear you sing praises to our
KING.
Now I wish upon a star,
To have YOU talk to me.
Now I wish upon a star,
And pray you will have the chance
To find someone to marry.
Now I wish upon a star,
And pray with all my heart
That you can someday be a
Daddy too.
Many, many years ago,
I never thought that the
First night’s star could
Shine so long and bright
Still be here to hear me,
Wish once again upon a star.

Thank you for sharing such a beautiful poem. What touched my heart was the wish for our kids to play, ride a bike, and balance on roller skates. Robbie can't do any of these things, but we try to interest him anyway, ususally without success. My wish for you is to have ALL your wishes come true!! God bless your day!

Oh my gosh. What a beautiful poem. I am trying not to cry out loud. When my son was dx I didn't know if he'd talk and when I read your wish "To have YOU talk to me," that just did it for me. I know that pain. I'm crying because at that moment I read it, I heard Raymond downstairs with his football buddies laughing and telling them how to play his video games. I wish for you .. my wish that came true.
