its not what you expect when your child is born...that they will have a lesser life...but it is what God has given...

I actually have two with serious problems. My oldest son had the heart/ADD problems. The youngest has a different problem. Fortunately, he has the executive functioning element that my oldest lacked. As such, he is a very safe driver, talented musician and capable writer of software. He is also an 8th grade dropout. Frustrating. By comparison, #2 son is a lot like me. Finished high school with a 4.33 GPA. Put himself through college after serving with the USMC in Kuwait/Iraq. He makes a decent living as a real estate broker, but is pursuing a EE/CS degree on top of a BS BA. You just have no idea how your kids will turn out.

It's pot luck when you have kids. Enjoy the time you have with them.
