I don't know why... but I just really felt the need to share.
Since becoming a mom a special nerve gets hit whenever I see a child that has been given a disability... big or small. I can't help but tear up and have really had to think about why that is. Is it because I am thankful that my girls were born healthy and able? Is it because I know those children are special sons and daughters of our Heavenly Father, and only the strongest spirits would be given such a challenge? Is it because I think about their parents who are so strong, and I don't think I could handle it for one second? Or is it because I feel the spirit so strong when I look at them, and am so thankful to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints? Regardless, tears come to my eyes... and I am actually grateful for that.
Jodee I totally get the same way..In fact even just writing what you wrote I got teary.. But then again I get teary with anything that has to do with babies and children ever since I became a mom. the other day i was watching a documentary on twins and watching them be born (and the mom holding them for the first time) made me even get the ugly face cry!! There is something so sweet about all babies..Perfectly healthy babies, or perfect babies with a disability.. I love them all!! Thanks for sharing :)
