take care of aaron he knows aaron even better than we do and loves him even more god knows our worried thoughts too and that my heart that feels like it might break god didn t clearly answer our two very huge prayers regarding aaron moving only to leave him or us stranded we know that in our heads our hearts are taking a little longer to adjust but i do look forward to seeing how this move will show us god s loving care in very real and sweet ways and i would not be at all surprised to walk in aaron s new room one day to find all 31 handy answer books out of their bookcase and stacked on the floor beside his bed in a very tall book tower don t tell aaron but i don t think i would mind that one bit author patty hesaidwhatks posted on july 30 2026 categories adult autism caregiving change god s care special needs adults 26 comments on aaron s move battle of the books moving aaron yes you read that title correctly aaron is moving we have known for a long time that moving aaron to a group home would need to be a part of his future but that part of his future was something we would always refer to as coming someday the prospect of him moving really wasn t anywhere near a reality to us though we knew that this someday would someday need to be the day gary and i have faced the truth that we are officially in our old age we have never wanted or planned for either of our other children to be responsible for aaron moving when we are gone we know that planning for and carrying out aaron s next steps in life should be our responsibility not theirs we also have known that facing this big challenge should be done before a crisis of some sort hits me or gary but what we have known for years in our hearts and on paper has been extremely hard to carry out in aaron s life and in ours so many obstacles so many emotions so many reasons to wait until a better time a few months ago we put out some little feelers to our good friend at aaron s day group she is like a second mother to aaron and has known him for years i told barb that we were ready maybe to pursue these next difficult decisions for aaron aaron has a sweet friend at his day group victoria and aaron have a very special relationship we finally started letting aaron call victoria his girlfriend last year they really do seem to love each other we talked and prayed about aaron moving but had no idea how on earth to make this happen aaron would not want to leave home he would be very angry and resistant to even the idea much less an actual move one day i told gary that the only way i could see this working was if there would be an open room in victoria s group home co ed group homes are common but that was a real stretch i knew her house was full with no vacancies expected but i prayed anyway that if this was god s will then a room in that house would open on may 4 th i got a text from barb she told me there had been a change and that suddenly there was a room opening in victoria s house oh my talk about mixed emotions we had excitement mixed with concern but deep down i knew that god had opened a very definite door for us we could not walk away and ignore this precise answer to prayer gary agreed and so we knew we must move forward our other prayer now was that aaron would want to move this was another huge obstacle that we saw no way around but for god to work a miracle in aaron s heart on the day barb told us about the open room i started a journal of god s doings during this process i would open my bible and read on those pages on may 5 th the day after barb told us about the room here is what i read when my spirit was overwhelmed within me you knew my path psalm 142 3 and you have worked wonders plans formed long ago with perfect faithfulness isaiah 25 1 god strengthened my spirit so much that morning with those precious promises about this path he had put us on for aaron i certainly did feel overwhelmed but i knew that god knew my path our path his plans for aaron and for us would be covered by his perfect faithfulness to all of us with barb s help we planned for aaron to go to the group home one day for supper we had victoria ask him and he was beyond excited that day he rode to the house in the van with victoria and the rest of the residents he hung out there for a few hours and ate supper while there the staff showed him the empty bedroom and they talked to him about moving there when i went to pick him up i cringed when aaron told me that they had shown him the room and asked him if he would like to live there i didn t know they would do that yet but aaron was all about it he thought that was a great idea since then aaron has still been very upbeat about moving it s amazing another very big answer to prayer but he s also going around telling everyone that he s going to move in with his girlfriend um it s not exactly like that i feel compelled to add so here we are we are having our intake meeting next week i m not sure of an exact move in date yet my emotions are all over the place you can imagine i know we ll have bumps in the road as aaron adjusts to leaving home he is expressing some fears about that and i m expressing my fears to some but mainly to god who can take care of aaron like i do who understands him and can read him like a book who will be on alert for his seizures and take care of him when they happen who will take him for a slushie or a milkshake and on and on and on but the god who so definitely opened this door will take care of all those details and will take care of aaron and of me during this huge transition my verse for may 30 th do not fear for i am with you do not anxiously look about you for i am your god i will strengthen you surely i will help you surely i will uphold you with my righteous right hand isaiah 41 10 how good to know we can trust god with each chapter of our lives and of aaron s author patty hesaidwhatks posted on july 7 2026 categories adult autism aging answered prayer epilepsy faithfulness family god s timing special needs adults transition 35 comments on moving aaron aaron s talking points here are some long overdue aaron sayings that i have collected over the years i hope they bring a smile to you as they do to us i just got aaron and me some pork fried rice at good fortune they let aaron have some extra fortune cookies he watched me setting out the rice and then asked mom do you have the wishing cookies aaron dad and i went to menards while you were gone i didn t like it so i asked him why he didn t like it because it smelled like house things makes me wanna go sniff around menards again aaron who prefers scrambled eggs stared at his fried egg this morning mom i don t really like eggs like this they re too yolky after a trip to the hardware store with gary aaron guess what dad and i saw at ace hardware me i don t know what did you see aaron we saw seeds that go to spinach me did you really aaron yes the picture on the front of the seeds had an impression of a bush aaron s world is always full of discovery aaron saw a dog on a commercial and was reminded of poodles he told me that he doesn t like poodles because they re ugly i told him they are not ugly and asked why he would think that aaron well their fur is all twisted after a shopping trip yesterday with his group aaron came home and excitedly said mom we saw a place where you can go take a tan well i guess if we can take a break take a walk or take a swim then it makes sense to take a tan today aaron said mom john hit his finger with a hammer and his skin crumbled ouch i personally hate it when my skin crumbles every time aaron and i go into a store he immediately starts looking for an employee that he can talk to especially to ask this lucky person where something is he and i can be standing next to a big mountain of fat watermelons and if aaron sees an employee nearby this happens aaron hey startled employee looks up some concern on their face aaron do you have watermelons me while apologizing to startled employee aaron you don t need to ask him about watermelons they re right here and even if they weren t we could still find them now every time we walk into a store i tell aaron not to ask the worker s any questions period no questions to poor unsuspecting workers after i picked aaron up today from paradigm we went into wal mart i gave aaron the usual instructions about not asking the workers to help him of course later we were looking for peanuts and couldn t find them anywhere i knew aaron was on the lookout for someone to ask someone wearing a wal mart vest therefore as i headed to another aisle for something i gave aaron the warning about not asking for help it wasn t long in the other aisle before aaron came walking briskly toward me mom i asked a normal person and they said the peanuts are in aisle 15 so now do i tell aaron not to ask wal mart workers or normal people for help doesn t sound good somehow i just took aaron on our friday walmart see what treasures aaron can find trip he wanted to go to electronics while i looked for a few other things my looking for other things took a bit longer that i had planned partly because of helping an older and very frustrated man find shake n bake but i finally made my way to electronics as i turned to head up the center aisle there stood aaron a ways off eyes crinkled in a huge smile when he saw me a smile that i could see even from under his mask he quickly hid something behind his back and i could hear his chuckle from yards away as i walked up to where he stood beside a movie dvd display he excitedly showed me that behind his back he was holding the et movie that he s been wanting but i also noticed a stack of items on the floor where we were standing as i looked down at them i instantly knew that aaron had been on his own shopping spree by himself there on the floor were 3 boxes of good and plentys a box of microwave popcorn another box of microwave popcorn with lots of butter that i don t let him buy but hope springs eternal with aaron and a salt lamp yes a salt lamp the extra buttered popcorn and the salt lamp are safely back on the shelves but aaron still made out pretty well with his stash one of the questions at his yearly basis meeting is whether he could shop by himself for groceries yes he could if you plan on a movie night watching et with lots of popcorn and good and plentys and only a salt lamp providing soft salt light aaron came in the kitchen holding up a bright shiny penny look mom i found a new version of a penny in my pocket we were watching wheel of fortune last night and a contestant bought an a aaron yelled a as in and he started singing e i e i o i just looked at him and then said um aaron there is no a in e i e i o he said what and i repeated there is no a in e i e i o he stared into space and thought for several seconds before just saying oh i hope that someone buys an a tonight so i can see what happens next we re trying to get aaron to quit giving his friend money this girl has learned that aaron will give her money nearly every day so aaron told me mom yesterday i didn t give r any money when she told me she was hungry i went and bought her a pretzel wasn t that better oh boy i need wisdom aaron loves deli cheddar pasta salad so i buy him one every friday for his supper as we left for his group he asked if i was getting him one today and i said sure unless you re tired of them he said wait if i say i m tired of them then what else will i get ah he does recognize an opportunity when he sees it i love how aaron phrases things he just now told cody about his dentist appointment next week and said so i will be not here aaron last night mom you know that dance that cowboys do it s called box dancing box dancing we finally cleared up the fact that he means square dancing well maybe he s seen cowboys square dancing in a box or cowboys dancing in a square box or cowboys dancing with a box in a square or aaron when i got up this morning at 9 53 no it wasn t 9 53 when i got up this morning at 9 46 the windows were wet this morning me aaron i put money in your wallet for popcorn at the movie today aaron ok how much me i put in 9 00 and then 25 cents it s two dimes and a nickel and you have a penny that was already in there aaron that would be 26 cents thank you mr precision personified this week is best friend s week on wheel of fortune one of the grand prizes since there are two contestants is a pair of mini coopers tonight the two best friends who made it to the bonus round did not win the prize you can guess what the prize would have been but aaron said awwww they didn t get the mini pair of coopers aaron mom melinda took me to taco bell today for lunch me that s nice what did you get aaron i got two crunchy tacos and a nachos me that sounds yummy aaron what s that green stuff on top me it s guacamole aaron oh it seems like a slush guacamole slush only at taco bell aaron should do a commercial when aaron watches a dvd he watches it all i just walked in his room and found him watching the credits of a movie i asked him a question and so since he paused the credits to answer me he went back to the beginning and is watching them again down to the very bitter end every little tiny boring unimportant word his mind is so fascinating author patty hesaidwhatks posted on may 23 2026 categories adult autism autism blessings communication family humor 14 comments on aaron s talking points being aaron s mother i was awake early this morning looking forward to coffee and quiet time before the busy start of the day began but just as i was climbing out of bed so was you know who i thought maybe he would just go to the bathroom and back to bed but that hope was dashed when i heard him turn on his lamp that sits on his nightstand turning that lamp on usually means he s up to stay no sooner was i downstairs with my cup of coffee than i heard his familiar thump thump thump down the stairs there he stood beside the table staring at me i smiled and wondered if he could tell my heart wasn t in it hey aaron i said it s early and you could still sleep some do you want to go back to bed no he replied i want my coffee are you sure i asked yes he repeated i gave him a playful look along with a little laugh don t laugh at me he angrily said i don t like to be laughed at and we were off and running i tried to explain the difference in teasing and being rude for what i m sure must be the millionth something time and for the millionth something time aaron didn t get it he proceeded then to come downstairs repeatedly to talk about anything and everything how we didn t pay him his allowance last night how barracuda live in the deep ocean and why do unmanned submersibles have to go down deep how long will it rain can you show me on the radar i think i need to change clothes because it s cold so can you pick out
