The lights, she said, are his favorite thing. “It brings so much joy to my heart,” the mother said. “He doesn’t get to enjoy many things. He’s nonverbal . . . to see him enjoy something that we can do for him, it means the world to all of us.” Viewing the lights is free and open to the public, but the Grimes encourage guests to make donations to the Rutherford County Isaiah 117 House, a local nonprofit that provides foster children a place to stay while they wait for a forever home.
