admiration.

So lately, I've been feeling bad for myself alot, counting the things I dont have instead of counting my blessings. I've been a mess, blaming others for why I'm feeling the way that I am, and hiding under a rock instead of living my life, all because of some ridiculous little family complaints and high school drama.  Meanwhile: my cousing Brandon, "Paka" Wade who was diagnosed with autism when he was two, has been dealing with something much worse than I could ever even imagine. In June Brandon fell off of a bus in the middle of a highway, he was hospitalized, and his mind was further damaged. He has basically had to start over and re-learn everything he has been working on his whole life. I'm sure you can imagine how hard this would be on him and his family,given that teaching him was already an extremely difficult task before the accident. Even so,  the Wade's are tough, they still keep optimism and faith and never stop to feel bad for themselves or complain. I love him and his family so much and they are truely great examples and hero's in my eyes!  READ THIS
