As a parent to a severely autistic son, and a person who has found light in many negative life-experiences, Kay claims that there is great power in allowing positive thinking to construct who we are, who we will ultimately become. Even in those darkest times and the dreariest days, we can embrace what has been given us and offer a friend, a neighbor, or family member a glimpse of hope. Our pain or suffering can help another person to embrace a situation and see a way through it. In our pain, trials and sufferings come light. Our ability to reach within those darkest moments and embrace a negative experience can construct within ourselves strength that will escort us through a life-time.
