KChristieH had this video of conjoined twins on her blog this week and all I could think of was the challenge of mothering to each child's identity, fostering aptitudes, talents and spirit, and how well these girls have managed their unique joined lives. It is heartwarming and leaves me with a thousand questions. These girls must have been very well mothered.
My sister-in-law has a theory that you get the children you're supposed to get. Some people are equipped to handle those extraordinary kinds of special needs. I'm pretty grateful I'm not one of those people. Not the least of our problems would be the lack of access to the care and facilities needed.
