Raising Special Angels A child with a disability, whether from birth, disease or accident, knows no other way of life. There are disabilities that the child learns to live with in a world that is learning to provide what is needed for the deaf, the blind or the disabled. The beauty in these children is the acceptance of what is.
Most children feel no anger or self-pity.
They only know love without question because they are loved without question. There are children whose disabilities are much more devastating. They accept what is, but live in a world dependent on others to care for them for all the things they cannot do for themselves. But the caretaker, the parent who must nurture this child, sometimes alone, needs the support of others who understand that their lives are not theirs alone to live because another life is dependent upon them for everything. Our widowed members now face this task alone.
