I read that plaque many times over the years as I walked the corridors of that unit while my youngest son was in for multiple surgeries... we often hear the words, "why me?" when parents have a child with special needs. I never asked why me, instead I said "why not me, and what lesson am I going to learn?"

We learn more from our children than we ever will teach them . :)
