This was given to me when I learned Jake had Cerebral Palsy. I believe the story has been passed along to thousands of mothers who recently learned they were given a special gift from God - a Special Needs Child.

On January 19, 1989 we learned Jake had cerebral palsy. The doctor explained Jake might never walk, talk or even recognize us. I couldnt understand why G-d would give us a disabled child. I didnt know a thing about caring for someone with special needs. I was scared. A few hours passed and I went to see Jake. I looked down at him and he looked up at me and he smiled. I knew at that very moment Jake recognized me. I picked him up in my arms and I told him, Well figure this all out and have a wonderful life. I love you so much."

Jake is the most important person in the world to me. When he was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy, my friends and family tried to comfort me by saying "God never gives you more than you can handle". I thought they were crazy and just didn't know whatelse to say. It took awhile for me to finally realize Jake would be one of my greatest teachers.
