The pain you feel is simply because you do not yet have the strength to forgive. But you will grow strong again, that is for sure.

Stephen Richards
About This Quote

After my son was born, he was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy. My husband and I were devastated, but we knew it was not the end of our lives. He would still be the amazing child he is today, and we would still love him. It was not that my child had a serious illness; rather, his life was forever changed because of it.

A few months after his birth my husband died of lung cancer. We had to come to terms with the fact that our son would never be able to walk or talk or live independently in the way most children do. No matter how many years go by or how hard we try, there will always be limitations to his life.

But in time his body will grow stronger and his mind will develop more than it ever has before.
