When God created each one of us, He knew us. Better than we can ever know ourselves. And some people on this earth, He made with a sprinkling of "special" dust. You always know when you have had the privilege of knowing someone with that extra something special. Because they just are Special. This is especially true in Specials who are children. Children born of adversity. Children with cancer. Children with Autism. I see them in so many forms. And when a child is Special, there's a little something different about him. A smile. A laugh. A giggle. Things that can be taken for granted in the Average Joe Juniors are quite the treat in Specials! Eye contact. Conversation. Joy. With Special children, these seemingly common, daily experiences are Events! Events to be celebrated! And when that Special child gives you his genuine smile or delights you with his belly laugh, it makes all of the mess (for lack of a better word) that can go along with Special children...
