I have to admit that prior to Zack's entrance into my life, I viewed children with special needs as a tragic burden. I remember hearing a speaker on the radio say they wouldn't trade the experience of having a special needs child for anything. I thought, "Liar You're just saying that to be positive.

There is a deep sense of love and joy that I've found in parenting a special needs child that I never expected, and that I am grateful to have in my life.

God wants to use you, you know. But how can he if you're exhausted?
