Accompanying My Son through the Airport – May 3, 2022

Image
  Photo courtesy:  UpgradedPoints.com I’d LOVE for the TSA and airlines to be more aware of and willing to accommodate adult passengers who are high-functioning, neurodiverse individuals, yet they still require a friend or family member to accompany them through the airport. I am grateful to God for knowing exactly what we required and placing the right people and things in our pathway when we needed them.   Yesterday, I accompanied my eldest son, an 18-yr old Senior in HS, to the airport. He will remain nameless here. Please respect his privacy if you know him.   This was his first time flying out solo. His Dad planned to meet him on the other end in New Orleans for a training and pre-graduation vacation opportunity. My son specifically requested my help and support to get through the airport, or he refused to go.   I was happy to support him, so I contacted the TSA and called Delta (his airline) a week prior to his leaving to request a Guest Gate Pass.

“ For my soul delighteth in the song of the heart; yea, the song of the righteous is a prayer unto me, and it shall be answered with a blessing upon their heads” ( D&C 25:11–12 ).   Personal Wins!   First, in the beginning of 2022 (on the perfect date of 2/22/22!), I, Diana (DaNannah), did verily begin a blog!  What a beautiful, perfect, windy, Mastery & peace day for starting my blog, Nannah's News and Notes !     Second, Yesterday, I completed my creation of "Joseph Smith's First Vision: In Humility." In keeping with one of my new themes, inspired by a mentor, getting it done joyfully was more important to me than getting it perfect. After all, it sat long enough after several revisions since I started it and set it down again back in September 2013. Yes, I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. If you are not, I certainly hope that doesn't put you off. Music that praises God isn't only found in the religion I choo...
