"MY SURGERY" THEY TRIED IT DIDN"T WORK, WELL IT DID FOR A FEW MORE YEARS, I GOT MY WHEEL CHAIR WHEN I WAS 9 YEARS OLD, WHY? BECAUSE I FELL DOWN TOO MUCH and SPENT TOO MUCH TIME GETTING MY HEAD STITCHED UP and then I FELL AND BROKE MY TOOTH so THAT WAS THE END OF MY WALKING CAREER

I WAS FINE and a MESS, MY MOM and DAD DIDN'T THINK IT WAS FUNNY, but I WAS STILL LAUGHING! WE STILL WENT FISHING AGAIN!

This is dedicated to all Mothers and Grandmothers of  "Special Needs Children"  I am and always will be a Mother of a Special Needs child, he now is an adult and I still have him in my care and will as long as I am able.  I'm also a Grandmother  of a Grandchild with Special  Needs .  I was given this from a newspaper article written by "Erma Bombeck " when I was about 25 years old.  I received this  from another Mother of a Special Needs child  and had no idea of the road ahead of me and that certainly was a good thing.   As it has turned out my son is a  "Gift" and Blessing and provides  purpose to my life.        Most women become Mothers by  accident, some by choice, a few by social 

pressures and a couple by habit, following in the steps of their own 

Mothers. This year nearly 100,000 women will become Mothers of 

"Special Needs" children. Did you ever wonder how Mothers of Special 

Needs children are chosen? Somehow I visualize God hovering over earth 

selecting His instruments for propagation with great care and 

deliberation. As He observes, He instructs His Angels to make notes in a 

giant ledger. Armstrong, Beth, son, Patron Saint Matthew.  Forrest, 

Marjorie, daughter, Patron Saint Cecilia. Rutledge, Carrie, twins, 

Patron...... Give her Gerard. "He's used to profanity." Finally, He passes a 

name to an Angel and smiles, "Give her a" Special Needs" child." The 

Angel is curious, "Why this one, God? She's so happy." "Exactly," smiles 

God. Could I give a"Special Needs" child to a Mother who does not know 

laughter? That would be cruel. "But has she patience?"asks the Angel. I 

don't want her to have too much patience or she will drown in a sea of self 

pity and despair. Once the shock and resentment wears off, she'll handle 

it. "I watched her today. She has that feeling of self and independence that 

is so rare and so necessary in a Mother. You see, the child I'm going to 

give her has his own world. She has to make it live in her world and that's 

not going to be easy." "But, Lord, I don't think she even believes in you." 

God smiles, "No matter, I can fix that. This one is perfect. She has enough 

selfishness." The Angel gasps, "Selfishness? Is that a virtue?" God nods, "If 

she can't separate herself from this child occasionally, she'll never survive. 

Yes, here is a woman whom I will bless with a child that is less than 

perfect. She doesn't realize it yet, but she is to be envied. She will never 

take for granted a "spoken word." She will never consider a "step" 

ordinary. When her child says "Momma" for the first time she will be 

present at a miracle and know it! When she describes a tree or a sunset to 

her blind child, she will see it as few people ever see my creations. I will permit her to see clearly the things I see.... Ignorance, cruelty, prejudice.... 

and allow her to rise above them. She will never be alone. I will be at her 

side every minute of every day of her life because she is doing my work as 

surely as she is here by my side." "And what about her Patron Saint?" asks the Angel, his pen poised in mid-air. God smiles, A mirror will suffice.

MY MOM, MY LIFE, KEEP SMILING, I AM!  I'M 43 YEARS OLD WITH 3 SIBLINGS, I WAS CHILD #2  I HAVE 1 SISTER and 2 BROTHERS.  I THINK MY MOM IS AN ANGEL and SHE THINKS I"M HER PURPOSE?
