Testimonies: What I have learned from my special needs child

my son is a twin and he was born devolopmentally delayed.john was delayed by 18 to 24 months when i first found out.john has since become my biggest joy in life i mean i have other kids,but john has come so far considering when he was born the stupid doctors said call the preist.he is now in 4th grade and is a very healthy and happy little boy. he speaks clearly and no longer needs p.t or o.t. which is the best thing.i learn something new from john every single day and he is an inspration to me daily.i have no clue what i have done in life to deserve him in my life but i am greatful for him every day. he is wonderful with his baby brother who also has a speech delay.john will sit there and help shawn pronouce words and other things like that.life is never dull or boring with my boys that i will say but it's not something i would trade for the world,as i am sure any parent of a special needs child will agree anyone who's life is touched by one of theses wonderful children is enriched for it on a daily basis.
