HI, im a mother of a 10 year old w/cp and I would like to share what I found in a book..
"MY CHILD IS NOT WHOLE"
DEAR LORD,HELP MY CHILD WHO ISNT WHOLE. WHY DOES SUCH A PRECIOUS CHILD HAVE THESE DEFECIENCIES? SOMETIMES I BLAME MYSELF. IF I HAD DONE THIS OR THAT WOULD IT HAVE MADE A DIFFERENCE? MY HEART ACHES,LONGING FOR THINGS TO BE BETTER. I WISH I COULD UNDERSTAND. I LOVE MY CHILD SO MUCH. EVEN THOUGH THIS DEAR ONE IS DISABLED, TO ME I HAVE THE MOST WONDERFUL LITTLE ONE IN THE WORLD. I THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME SUCH A SWEET GIFT. COULD MY CHILD BE AN ANGEL IN DISGUISE? GRANT ME PATIENCE DAILY ,YET GIVE ME DETERMINATION AND CONSISTENCY.GIVE ME WISDOM AS I EXPECT MY CHILD TO DO THE BEST THAT ABILITIES PROVIDE, YET LET ME REALISTIC IN MY EXPECTATIONS. REMIND ME TO PRAISE AND ACCENT THE LITTLE ACCOMPLISHMENTS; LET ME CHERISHEACH DAY FOR THE GOOD TIMES. GRANT ME STRENGTH WHEN I AM WEAK AND WEARY
