Don't Pity Me
By: Joanne Green
Don't pity me
because my child was not born
"perfect", for in his imperfection I have
learned to see beauty that is deeper
than the flesh.
Don't pity me
because my child and I have faced challenges
that have served to forge
a bond much deeper than love.
Don't pity me,
because you could not have done this,
for I thought that too once,
before I learned that through love you can do
a great many things you once couldn't do.
Don't pity me,
my child is the greatest blessing to ever touch my life
I am rich to have him, and richer still for
the experience of knowing him.
And if you are truly my friend,
then you will understand.
And please,
Don't Pity Me.

It blessed our hearts during your most recent visit to Indiana when she clasped her little hands together and prayed at the dinner table all by herself. She should not be pitied because she realizes even at her young age what is most important, and that's all that really matters.
