I had a little girl who had cerebral palsy, so this hit pretty close to home. My daughter passed in 1995 and every effort I had went to try and help her. I worked two jobs, we had nurses in the house around the clock, she had every kind of therapy,I battled insurance companys and maxed out two policies when she went to the hospital for the 12th time. And even through all her handicaps and all her medical issues, she brought us so much joy and spark having her here as long as we did. I wouldn't have missed it for the world.
I just don't get it. I know it's hard, there's nothing harder, but maybe it's just like another poster said, a missing gene that simply turns off the mother instinct. But, you'd also have to be missing a couple of other genes, too, the responsibility gene, the compassion gene, intelligence gene..... I couldn't even read the entire story myself. It was just heartbreaking.
