Drew. I love you. But I want to slap you. Did you hear what you said? You and your wife were BLESSED with healthy children?? I was blessed with mine too!! Even the ones with differences that make life harder. Everyone is blessed to be given a chance to raise a child. It does not matter in terms of the love and blessing of being a parent whether that child is biologically perfect. Which none of them are, really.
The opposite of blessing is cursing. People with kids with disabilities or leukemia are not cursed. Sure, these are obstacles no one wants but we are not cursed. All children are beautiful.
Sorry if I caused offense. It wasn't my intention to imply that parents of children who might have special needs are also not blessed. I'm not going to speak for these parents because I can't.
I should have chosen my words more carefully.
