A reason inclusion matters

"Why can't Greyson talk?" 4 year old, brilliant, old soul Hannah asked me, looking at me intently for answers I wasn't sure I could provide. Greyson has autism and went to preschool with Hannah one day a week, and she was Grey's instant guardian angel.

"God made all of us a little different," I told her. "Some of us are good at some things that others have to work hard at. Greyson has to work hard at talking."

"Is that why you talk to him like that?" She asked, referring to my short, caveman like sentences, spoken loudly and clearly. "Yes," I replied. "Is it ok if I talk to him like that too?" She asked. When I told her, of course, she turned to Greyson and exclaimed. "Greyson, slide!" extending her hand. He took it instantly and together they walked to the slide.

Oh my heart. The tears are welling up as I tell you this.

"Is Greyson talking yet?" Hannah asked me just the next week as I walked Greyson into school. When I told her he wasn't yet, her lips pursed and went to the side. "Hmmm. I pray to God every day that he will make Greyson talk," she told me. She said it with such hope, like she knew one day it would happen. I was speechless. Greyson wasn't quite 3, and this was my nightly prayer too. This girl's heart absolutely amazed me.

I'm so grateful for Hannah, who taught me why inclusion matters so much. For all the Greyson's and the Hannah's in the world. They both have so much to give and to share with the world. And my prayer is that every child is lucky enough to have a Hannah in their life.
