Today is the 38th birthday of my autistic/blind son that lives with me. Here's the sentiment
that was in one of the cards he got in the mail:
Wishing Life's Best For You, Son...
For your birthday,
I am wishing all good things
to come your way.
Where there are opportunities,
I wish you the ability to see them
and seize them.
Where there are challenges,
I wish you courage and patience
so you will grow in strength and wisdom.
Where there is love,
I wish you the openness to accept it
and the willingness to return it.
And within each wish is a hope
that you will be blessed
with a meaningful, successful life.
Snipped here to edit out happy birthday wishes. I think this would make a great daily
affirmation since we can't have too many...

I have a disabled, severely autistic brother; he enjoys the cards I send him. 
And I'm sending him this hug.
And hugs and good wishes to you too! 
Thanks for sharing and happy BD to your son. I hope it’s a good year for him! 
While taking care of your son, don't forget to take good care of yourself as well. Hugs to you both. 
I hope it was a good one.
