Parents: Wonder

I am not a parent. Many of you reading this may be. I know that you are told to love your children unconditionally and that you do. Raising a child with special needs is no different. Auggie's parents are a true example of what it means to be a family. They never make him do anything he doesn't want to do. They support him in all he does. They listen, respect, and enjoy his company. As I read this book I wonder if God blessed me with  a special needs child if I would be as kind and passionate. Life will always have several ups and downs but its what we do in those times that makes us who we are.
