This is my last week at Jordan Valley (helping special needs kids) and I am SO sad about it. The experience I have had while working there has been an indescribable one. Those kids have such a strong, sweet spirit about them and I will miss every single one of them. I have a huge love for kids that are born with so many different problems. One thing I have realized is that most of those kids do not just have one complication. If they have a health issue it is usually followed by MANY problems. One little girl for example has her physical and mental impairments and to top it off has to be closely monitored with what she eats or she gets sick. She can't even drink very much water. It is sad but also has made me appreciate my healthy daughter more and more. She has been such a blessing in my life and even though we have our hard days, I would not trade it for anything in this world!
