You weren't like other children,
And God was well aware,
You'd need a caring family,
With love enough to share.
And so He sent you to us,
And much to our surprise,
You haven't been a challenge,
But a blessing in disguise.
Your winning smiles and laughter,
The pleasures you impart,
Far outweigh your special needs,
And melt the coldest heart.
We're proud that we've been chosen,
To help you learn and grow,
The joy that you have brought us,
Is more than you can know.
A precious gift from Heaven,
A treasure from above,
A child who's taught us many things,
But most of all - "Real Love"
Heaven's Special Child
author unknown
A meeting was held quite far from earth.
"It's time again for another birth,"
Said the angels to the Lord above.
"This special child will need much love."
"His progress may seem very slow;
Accomplishment he may not show;
And he'll require extra care
From the folks he meets down there."
"He may not run or laugh or play;
His thoughts may seem quite far away.
In many ways he won't adapt,
And he'll be known as handicapped."
"Oh, let's be careful where he's sent,
We want this life to be content.
Please, Lord find the parents who
Will do a special job for you."
"They will not realize right away
The leading role they are asked to play.
But with this child sent from above
Comes stronger faith and richer love."
"And soon they'll know the privilege given
In caring for this gift from heaven.
Their precious charge so meek and mild
Is Heaven's VERY SPECIAL CHILD."
When Tomorrow Starts Without Me
( David Romano )
When tomorrow starts without me
and I'm not here to see...
If the sun should rise and find your
eyes filled with tears for me,
I wish so much you wouldn't cry
the way you did today...
While thinking of the many things
we didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me,
as much as I love you...
And each time you think of me,
I know you'll miss me, too.
But when tomorrow starts without me,
please try to understand...
That Jesus came and called my name
and took me by the hand,
And said my place was ready
in heaven far above...
And that I'd have to leave behind
all those I dearly love.
So when tomorrow starts without me,
don't think we're far apart...
For every time you think of me,
I'm right here in your heart.

What is VATER association?
VATER or VACTERL association is an acronym used to describe a series of characteristics which have been found to occur together. V stands for vertebrae, which are the bones of the spinal column. A stands for imperforate anus or anal atresia, or an anus that does not open to the outside of the body. TE stands for tracheoesophageal fistula, which is a persistent connection between the trachea (the windpipe) and the esophagus (the feeding tube). R stands for renal or kidney anomalies and radial or arm anomalies. C is added to the acronym to denote cardiac anomalies, and L is often added to stand for limb anomalies. Babies who have been diagnosed as having VATER association usually have at least three or more of these individual anomalies. There is a wide range of manifestation of VATER association so that the exact incidence within the population is not exactly known.
A person with more than two problems in any combination may be recognized as fitting in the VATER Association. However, VATER Association is not a diagnosis. There is no one cause for the association of these problems in individuals. (Google Search on VACTERL/VATER)
