Hanna and Chris,
My parents were given this poem which hung on our wall forever. My parents were excellent with my brother and making sure they gave him the best life he could possibly have. When I read your stories about everything that you do for Cole it reminds me of my amazing parents. Cole is your very special gift from Heaven and he was given to you two because the two of you can handle it.
If you ever need anything I am always around.
HEAVEN'S SPECIAL CHILD
Author presently unknown
A meeting was held quite far from earth,
Itâ??s time again for another birth.
Said the angels to the Lord above;
This special child will need much love
His progress may be very slow,
Accomplishments he may not show.
And heâ??ll require extra care,
From the folks he meets down there,
He may not run or laugh or play,
His thoughts may seem quite far away.
In many ways he wonâ??t adapt,
and heâ??ll be known as handicapped.
So letâ??s be careful where he is sent,
we want his life to be content.
Please, Lord, find the good friends who, will do a special job for you.
They will not realize it right away,
the leading role theyâ??re asked to play.
But with this child sent from above, comes stronger faith and richer love.
And soon they will know the privileges given,
In caring for their gift from Heaven.
Their precious charge, so meek and mild,
in
Heavenâ??s very special child.
