For My Nephew
I love quotes, especially inspirational ones. Maybe also that's why I prefer to read memoir or any inspirational books, for me to find many inspirational words written that could make my soul better.
Specially since I have a nephew who is being diagnosed as autistic. Copying some of these inspirational quotes could make myself helping my sister to go through this, to delight her days. As one of this quote:
"Some luck lies in not getting what you thought you wanted but getting what you have, which once you have got it you may be smart enough to see it is what you would have wanted had you known." - Garrison Killer
This quote seems trying to tell and remind my sister and every mother of a child with special needs that as normally a mother will dream and wish for perfect child and let's face it, a special needs child is not what we meant as perfect child as we have wished and dream before. But, knowing what we know now, and loving these kids, we wouldn't want it any other better way.
From what we look outside, this special needs child may be different than any normal children, but their feelings stay the same. As a normal children do, they will also laugh, cry and make us pride in their own gains. They might sent here among us to teach and to love as God in the heavens looks down from above.
For God, this special needs child is no different, His love knows no bounds; It's those here among us, in cities and towns that judge others by standards that man has imparted, but we are as the chosen family will help this special needs children get started their life here on earth.
For my nephew as one of these special children, so special so few, that came here to learn the same lessons as ours. That love is acceptance, it must come from the heart; we all have the same purpose, though not the same start. The Lord gave my nephew life to live and embrace, and he'll do it as normally children do, but at his own pace.
