[tri-med] Re: for the purpose...they are perfect

Catherine,
   
  Thank you for sharing.  Such a lovely story about the man and his daughter at 
Walmart, and such a tragic story about the specialist.  How blind some people 
are who can't see the dignity of all of God's creatures, of whom he is as well.

I saw a dad today, at Wal-Mart.
He was with his severely disabled daughter.
They were in the toy section.
He was showing her all kinds of neat stuff.
She was smiling and waving her hands.
She looked like she was having a wonderful time.
So did her dad.
She was in a wheelchair
and had a ventilator
and he had to keep suctioning her.
If her purpose is to help her dad to become all that he can be
and far more than he could ever have imagined, she is perfect.

Once I took Bec to a specialist who always had a flock of residents in tow.
He said, "We're not going to fix her so we don't need to know
what else is wrong and you don't need to come back"
Ever since then I have thought about him and what he missed out on.
If Becky's purpose here on earth was a final exam for this specialist
and one day when he stands before God
and tries to point out the hundreds of doctors he has trained,
or the hundreds of patient's lives he has extended or improved,
God will stop him and say, "No, none of those count.
Only the one that I sent to you. What did you do to help her?
How did you extend or improve her life."
If her purpose was to help this doctor become all that he could be
and far more than he could ever have imagined, she is perfect.

Catherine, mom of Becky (31yrs. Trisomy 13 Mosaic)
