Rex

Cathleen Lewis took her families struggles and turned it into miracle. I was instantly drawn into their lives when I picked up the book. She lays all of her emotions, thoughts, fears, and hopes for the reader to see. I cannot even imagine living a life with a child who is both blind and autistic. However, as a mother she has blessed her child in remarkable ways. She took the cards life dealt her, and played them successfully. I am touched by her faith in God, and how she used it to guide her parenting. She trusted God to guide her. Cathleen knew that they only way to find comfort was to lean on God. She is a remarkable example for all those struggling with unimaginable situations. I grew to truly care about her son Rex. I doubt I will ever meet him, but his perseverance and spirit has certainly touched my life. Rex seems like such a remarkable child. God has truly gifted him with the gift of music. Cathleen should be very proud of the son she has raised. I only hope that I am able to impact my children’s lives the way she has impacted her son’s life. This was an amazing testimony of faith, hope, and love.
