Why Me?

Author Unknown

Why not me? A very good question. I like the why me question better though. So here are my thoughts on "why me":

Why me:

I am willing to stand up for them.

I am willing to fight for them. Even if it means fighting my husband and dragging him along on the way to health and fighting relatives.

I am willing to lose friendships, because I am just too odd or make them feel uncomfortable.

I am not willing to take no for an answer.

I am willing to spend the money on them, even if it means we don't have anything left for anything others would consider a necessity.

I am willing to do everything I can to educate anybody and everybody that will listen to me along the way. Whether or not they think I am crazy.

I am willing to fight for other suffering children.

I am willing to offer hope, where others see none.

I am willing to give my time, my money, and my energy to see others get healthy.

I am willing to pray for others.

I see the incredible beauty in special needs kids. They are gorgeous and I appreciate them and value their beauty.

He knew I would see it as a gift to be cherished.

He prepared me for them. I was ready.

Why me?

I needed to grow.

I needed to find out just how unhealthy I was.

I needed to draw nearer to G-d.

I needed answers and never could get them either.

My kids needed a mother that could give their all. Without the knowledge gained from seeking answers for them, I wasn't able to give them the mother they needed.

My marriage needed so much more.

My husband needed someone to have answers for him.

I needed God. He brought me to a place that I could see Him.

He trusted me with beautiful children. I would not have any others. He trusted me, there is no greater gift. He filled me up with so much love for them that it spills over.

Thank you my new friends for welcoming me. No one else understands us quite so well, do they? I am filled with gratitude for today. I am filled with anticipation for tomorrow.  The future is bright.
