I just finished reading about a new mom who’s child was born with a limb difference. After scrolling through some of the pictures I began to tear up. This mom had no idea that she would give birth to a beautiful baby, who would be missing any limbs or fingers & toes. In our finite minds, they’re missing something….but, actually they’re born with out it............. and God allowed it ........so they’re not “missing” anything at all. But I digress………Just like every parent, we all dream of the day our children are born and we're able to count all ten fingers and toes. I don’t know the devastation she must have felt, (the not having any forewarning part). I found out about my little buddy’s hand during my pregnancy so although it was...... is..... and probably always will be EXTREMELY tough, I had time to prepare myself (as much as humanly possible) for the big day…..the day I met him. Anyway, my eyes filled with tears as I scrolled through pictures of this wonderful new mommy and her beautiful baby, simply because I know the hurt, the fear, the questions. I know the stares that they’ll receive and the misunderstandings. I know it all, I know it all too well……
