How Life Touches Us
Ask just any parent of a child with a disability, and they will tell you of the incredible feeling of vulnerability that they felt upon hearing that their child had a problem. In a modern world, we have grown accustomed to having risk mitigated and managed (if not eliminated ) from our lives. Disappointments are something archaic, happening to people far away, sanitized for your TV viewing pleasure.
Disappointments, accidents, changes, or whatever you want to call them often give way to things of great beauty and complexity. No life is a mistake, but often how a life is lived is a mistake. When we make a choice or refuse to make a choice out of fear, we are committing a mistake.
