A young boy with both a rare brittle-bone disease and autism. He is a happy kid who loves everyone. Every day is a great day for him. He is always happy and wants to make everyone around him happy.  He is joyous, funny, life-affirming world view that transforms and unites everyone around him. Just about all his classmates love him at school and Austin sees everyone at school as his friend. The class bully he considers his best friend. Logan his brother dislikes how he belittles his brother. Austin sees his bully as a sad person and wants to make him happy.

Austin was also born with osteogenesis imperfecta, or known as brittle-bone disease. He is no stranger to broken bones and has had a lot of broken bones.  

Scott the father has his own way of handling his son. Alcohol is a close friend and an imaginary friend that he talks to. It seems that every time Scott is in charge of watching Austin, he ends up in an emergency room with another broken bone. Scott loses his job. Everything spirals out of control like the mounting medical bills and Austins huge meltdown. The mom Theresa, is the family glue with her love for her family and faith.

Having a daughter with Autism and other medical issues this movie spoke loudly to me. I looked over other reviews and seen some critical ones but if you haven’t been in the shoes of a parent or a family with a child with autism it’s hard to relate. I feel that those reviews looked at the movie from the outside looking in. The movie is heartfelt and honest with all the joys, frustrations, and day to day life of a parent and family with a challenging child. I chuckled and teared up many times because I could relate to the many different aspects of the movies.

 Disclosure: I received this complimentary product in exchange for my honest thoughts. 

Last month I got to go home and it was a much anticipated trip home as I haven't been home since 2001. It was great to see my sister and my aunts, uncles, and cousins.

My daughter went with me and the guys went and did some extreme camping in Colorado.

Bug was extremely excited about flying on an airplane and being in the clouds. She filled up my phone and her tablet with photos.

Our plane arrived and is getting ready to get loaded.

Bug wanted to see if she could find our luggage get loaded in the plane. Guess what she did see it get loaded thanks to my brightly colored fluff ball that is attached to it. 

Having a child with Autism and other disabilities I was a bit nervous with how she would react on the plane. Luckily she did amazing on the flight! I have to admit my brain hurt after awhile after the details from the clouds in the sky and the landscape below. She couldn't understand that from where I was sitting I couldn't see what she seen or couldn't just unbuckle to look out the window. I had to pretend I seen some things. 

Our view of leaving Wichita.

She was amazed at the landscape outside of the city and how it looked so barren. Welcome to Kansas. 

Below are just a few more photos from above.

I loved how my daughter purposely captured a photo of the wing again but in the clouds.

 

 

She was amazed by all the woods. She couldn't believe how many trees she could see everywhere. I have to admit it made me miss the scenery.

On our last leg of our trip leaving Atlantic Airport.  

It was a wonderful trip seeing my family and going to the beach.
