I taught severely and multiply handicapped kids for several years and also 
worked with adults with multiple and/or severe disabilities. Then I adopted my 
daughter who is blind and has severe developmental disabilities and she pretty 
much became my fulltime job. Now we combine Social Security income with some 
pay I get for some of the care I do for my daughter.

May the words of my mouth
and the meditation of my heart
be acceptable to You, Lord,
my rock and my Redeemer.
