When DS was in 6th grade, I accompanied his class on their annual fun field trip and talked extensively with one of his teachers, whom I've admired for MANY years (she also was his guidance counselor in elem.). I told her that I could never do what she does, and she told me she could say the same for me! I was astounded! Even one of the IS computer geeks who supports our dept. has told me the same thing.
So the more I thought about it, I came to the same conclusion, PD. there are those who lovingly attend our senior citizens and severely handicapped every day, all day. But I learned a long time ago that's something I could never do. My main thing is tiny babies and EMS, and knowing that there are those who cannot makes me realize just how vital that is.
We all have our own special talents. It took me over 30 years to realize mine! But they are all there within us. That's why we're all different and why God put us on this earth together. Because of those unique, special talents, we NEED each other!
