Good Morning! Today is my birthday, and my gift is my daughter sleeping under my roof. She is now going to college and has her own apartment, but she came home for the weekend. I have learned to be grateful and realize how weak we are on our own. I have heard people speak of having handicapped children, mentally retarded etc and how they say " I would'nt trade them for anything" and never understood why. I do now. The experience I have had brought me to a depth of compassion, love, patience that I would never have achieved had we not experienced her illness. My daughter, through her own faith and life...combined with the grace of God, has recovered...takes her medicine...and listens to her counselors.....her attitude is amazing! I am ashamed to say how quickly I have taken this for granted! The reason for my post is to give 1 person hope, that there are success stories out there....May God bless and keep all of you!
