What The "Special" In Special People Means

Mindy seemed OK for the first few months of her life. Then we noticed she wasn't progressing like the younger babies around us. She was diagnosed with cerebral-palsy and retardation. We have discovered her symptoms more related to Rett syndrome or Angelman syndrome. But it doesn't matter. We feel blessed to be her parents and older sister.

I have been running into people who have a child with Rett Syndrome in their life. Most see Mindy and I on the street, and comment on how they think it is great that I bring Mindy out. I just love her company. Even when she is pushing Daddy's buttons.
