Sometimes you just got to show up for other people. That's all you got to do, and if you continuously do that, there'll come a day in your life when you need it, when you really really need it, someone will show up for you.
Parenting always comes with its own set of challenges, but for David Floyd, raising an autistic son has been a journey of learning, empathy, and the power of simply showing up. In this episode of 'Hart to Harts', David opens up about his experiences navigating middle school with his son, Justin, who often came home saying he ate lunch alone. This heart-wrenching reality led David to take action, not just for his son but for other children as well.
He now speaks to students, encouraging them to look beyond the surface and ensure no one eats alone. One particularly touching story he shares is from Justin's sixth-grade Halloween. Two boys from school showed up at their doorstep and took Justin trick-or-treating, a simple act that meant the world to him. Through these anecdotes, David underscores the importance of trust and being there for others.
In a time where society often feels divided, his message of inclusivity and community resonates deeply. This episode is a poignant reminder that small acts of kindness can have a profound impact, making it a must-listen for anyone seeking inspiration on how to make a difference in their own community.
