fair enough. however I dont think the term giving up your life always applies. its an over used statement imo. obviously various disablities and health issues vary enormously. however, its amazing how much you get back from children, especiall those with some form of diability. they will inspire you and help you in more ways than you can possibly imagine. instead of a chore or a hardship, it can even become a joy. adults think theyre teaching kids, often it ends up the other way around. they usually end up teaching us the joys of optimism, enthusiasm and just enjoying the simpler things in life.
