children's hospital

Today we had a regular follow up visit in neurology clinic. I am always so humbled when I go to the Children's Hospital.  There are so many families with children so severely handicapped. I find myself feeling extremely grateful for the blessings that I have and feel a prick in my heart for ever thinking that my life is too hard.  I look at other parents who are FULL time caretakers. They don't have time for anything else, I see other parents of children who are terminally ill, I see parents whose children never speak, never walk, never progress past diapers.
