Guest guest Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 The Special Mother Most women become mothers by accident, some by choice, a few by social pressure and a couple by habit. This year nearly 100,000 women will become mothers of " special " children. Did you ever wonder how these mothers are chosen? Somehow I visualize God hovering over Earth Selecting his instruments for propagation with great care and deliberation. As he observes, he instructs his angels to take notes in a giant ledger. " Armstrong, Beth, son. Patron Saint, . " " Forrest, Marjorie, daughter. Patron Saint, Celia. " " Rutledge, , twins. Patron Saint...give her Gerard. He's used to profanity. " Finally he passes a name to an angel and smiles. " Give her a " special " child. " The angel is curious. " Why this one, God? She's so happy. " " Exactly, " smiles God. " Could I give a " special " child a mother who knows no laughter? That would be cruel. " " But does she have the patience? " asks the angel. " I don't want her to have too much patience, or she'll drown in a sea of self-pity and despair. Once the shock and resentment wear off she'll handle it. " " I watched her today. She has that sense of self and independence so rare and so necessary in a mother. You see, the child I'm going to give her has a world of it's own. She has to make it live in her world, and that's not going to be easy. " " But Lord, I don't think she even believes in you. " God smiles. " No matter, I can fix that. This one is perfect. She has just enough selfishness. " The angel gasps, " Selfishness? Is that a virtue? " God nods. " If she can't separate herself from the child occasionally, she will never survive. Yes, here is a woman whom I will bless with a child less than perfect. She doesn't know it yet, but she is to be envied. She will never take for granted a spoken word. She will never consider a step ordinary. When her child says momma for the first time, she will be witness to a miracle and know it. I will permit her to see clearly the things I see--ignorance, cruelty, prejudice--and allow her to rise above them. She will never be alone. I will be at her side every minute of every day of her life Because she is doing my work as surely as she is here by my side. " " And what about her Patron Saint? " asks the angel, his pen poised in the air. God smiles. " A mirror will suffice. " By: Erma Bombeck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 I LOVE this! Thank you! I used to say when I only had 3 children that God knew I was selfish, had no patience and couldn't handle a disabled child, then my fourth came along and with Cerebral Palsy, Autism, ADHD, sensory integration, and mild mental retardation...well what the heck did I know. Obviously nothing as I've learned soooo much from her. I never felt strong enough until she came along and showed me what true strength was. I'm blessed daily with all my children but she is the one that made me GROW the most. Thank you again for sending this out because it was something I needed to read to remind me of where I've been and how far I've come. From: If you want to know..
