Amazing People

There are some people that God puts into your life for a certain reason. I can't seem to get this one person out of my head. I have been incredibly touched by her.

While job shadowing in Texas I met a woman who was the most inspirational woman that I think I've ever met. She is an adoptive mother to three (going to be four) children who are either physically or mentally disabled to an extent to where no one wants to take care of them or knows how to. The children are pratically considered "unadoptable." This woman and her husband (a nurse) have taken these children in and have given them a loving home. What is so amazing is the fact that they are now taking care of a beautiful little girl named Hannah who has numerous problems. She has trouble swallowing, needs to be fed through a feeding tube, has Torticollis, REM and stiffness in her joints. The thing is, Hannah is beautiful. I just wanted to pick her up and love her. It was hard seeing a child being disabled like that.

But it was amazing to see this family interact with one another. They showed a lot of respect and seemed to love Hannah just the way she was. I never want to forget this family or the woman who takes care of them. I hope that I can be as accepting as she is and to show God's love like she does. She has truly inspired me (can you tell?). God put her in my life for a brief moment but I'll remember her for a long time.

Basically I can't wait to be able to help people feel better by therapy. My heart has been called to be a Physical Therapist and I couldn't be more excited (the kind of excited where you can't sleep)!
