Matthew, this is such a wonderful tribute to your sweet nephew, Gabriel, who is a blessing to your family! I had a family member who was also autistic and he brought special joy to our family! Love and hugs. Pandita

They are angels sent from God on a mission to touch souls and turn them around. I have enjoyed your poem Mathew, God bless you for the love you impart on him.

Is this the poem you were mentioning to me. I hope your nephew is not sick. I think you told me it was YOU that was sick?? This is , as Teppo says, heartwarming.
