Please accept my sincere apology, I certainly did not intend to suggest in anyway that just because a child has a disability that they are not perfect or that their life is in anyway less meaningful than anyone elses. I see now the I miss wrote that first line of my initial email.

I did have a daughter born premature at 24weeks, had she lived she would have been blind, deaf, unable to walk and mentally challenged we desperatly tried to save our perfect little girls life.

Again forgive me

thank you for your reply, i am very sorry about your daughter.

it is understandable when parents first have feelings of disappointment, etc when their child is diagnosed. i had them myself. i guess your post just brought up feelings in me of many others who feel sorry for themselves because their child isn't what they expected. without getting too spiritual here, i feel that someone chose me to be the mother of these special boys for a reason. i have bad days, but i assume all parents do in one way or another.

thanks again, valerie
