This story was given to me when I learned my son, Jake has Cerebral Palsy. I believe the story has been passed along to thousands of mothers who recently learned they were given a special gift from G-d - a Special Needs Child.
The story is written by Erma Bombeck and is called "How G-d Chooses a Mom for a Disabled Child."
It's not always easy, but there are numerous joys, rewards, and celebrations.
