I made this video for YouTube. I went to watch some autism video’s and they were all so depressing and sad. I dont see my daughter that way- so this is what we came up with. I hope that it touches another mom out there who feels like the world has fallen out from underneath her- I hope it encourages her to continue to dream for her child.. and to have hope.
Isnt she beautiful!
I think I’m going to cry!
That was so beautiful Heather… what a wonderful tribute to your amazing little girl.
Thank you for sharing!!!
So so nice. My favorite photo is the pool shot. What a little character! A lovely tribute and a reminder that she’s still just an adorable little girl, autism and all!
I LOVE it! What a way to reflect on God’s gift of your beautiful daughter, and to encourage other parents who may not feel so fortunate with their child. I don’t have children yet, but this really touched me.
Twinkling for Jesus,

That is a beautiful video and one that every parent with a child with or without autism needs to see! You did an awesome job Heather!!
That is so beautiful. I applaud you for making that video and putting it up there! I hope it encourages people who find it there.
What a wonderful way to remind everyone, including yourself, of who she really is, a beautiful child of God.
what a wonderful video!I hope people find it, how wonderful…
What a beautiful little girl! Thanks for sharing that video. Hopefully it will bless many others. It has blessed me.
What a beautiful video! What a great way to encourage other parents with children with autism…or without….that when we see our children through the eyes of love and God’s potential…….all other labels–disappear! As I have mentioned before, my (foster) granddaughter is three years old-and recently been diagnosed, “autistic.” While it is important to know what each child is “dealing with” it is also vital to remember that their Creator has a bigger purpose and plan for their lives and their hearts….than a diagnosis.
Great video! While watching it…we could feel the joy, the fun, the blessing of each childhood experience! Emma is such a beautiful blessing….and so are you!

Hi! I’ve posted here a few times and I love reading your blog. I did want to let you know that I just decided to start a Pastor’s Wives blogroll. Currently, I am the only member (as I just started it today!) but I thought perhaps you would want to join or might know others who would. I am very new at all of this but I thought it was worth a shot. Hopefully I’m not crazy!
Anyways, if you are interested, check out my link: League of Pastor’s Wives

Oh, and I don’t know why but I wasn’t able to see the video. :^(

I love that song so much and now when I hear it I will think of your sweet, beautiful daughter. Thank you for sharing. I found your site through Barb’s.
Well done Heather. As I watched I realized your acceptance has grown strong. May you continue to spread that feeling.
Heather,
You will find that so many people will take their cue of how to act towards Emma from YOU. To have a mother that shows how much she unconditionally loves her daughter is one of the best gifts you can give Emma. Including Emma in all you and your family does will make the delight you take in her contagious.
Dream big and keep your hopes high for your beautiful daughter. Emma is wonderfully and undeniably….Emma. We should all be so lucky to have such a beautiful little one in our lives.
Awesome video of Emma. Touche, Autism is not who you are but just a part of what makes you unique. She is such a beautiful child. I enjoyed watching this.
That is really beautiful. I hope it encourages so many others.
What a beautiful and touching video! Thank you for sharing!
Wow, Heather! That is an awesome little video. I love it. Thanks so much for sharing.
That was a great video! She is truly beautiful!
I like how Jennifer (Snapshot) said it…”She has autism, but it doesn’t have her!” She really is a beautiful little girl! That smile just melts my heart!
You have a beautiful family.
Thanks for sharing that video with us.
