I have a disabled child (brain damage) who is a delight!!!!! She has lots of difficulties, but her special traits far outweigh her problems.

Yesterday, she was upset about going to speech therapy. She asked if she didn't get the brain damage when she was sick, then she wouldn't have to go to speech therapy.

I told her that's right. Then she thought some more and said but then "I wouldn't be me". I told her that was correct, and that she had a lot to offer, and I like her just the way she is.

"I told her that was correct, and that she had a lot to offer, and I like her just the way she is."

That's because she's exactly as God wanted her to be.

We are souls with bodies, not bodies with souls.

You just made a tear well up in this crusty joker's eyes.

God bless you and your sweet, wise little girl.

What a mother you must be...your little girl is so lucky to have you. May God bless you both!
