Time Period: A Flashback

Joan's p.o.v
Today Adam and I visited a special needs school. This desire was born out of a deep love for our
community. We helped an autistic girl named Amanda with a jigsaw puzzle. I loved it when she
discovered something new. Delighted, her pretty eyes twinkled like stars. I was sure I changed
her life. Unknown to the public, God appeared to me as a counselor. He dropped a few hints
about my unborn baby's future. I assumed he meant my child would have autism. He strongly
advised I cherish my time with him or her.

Dream won her school's art contest. She was featured in the newspaper at one point. Who knew
an autistic girl could receive such special favor? Sometimes I can't believe God chose me to be her
mother.
