    Having special kids in the family is kind of a blessing in a way. I have a cousin who have special needs, everybody in the small town knows him coz he's very friendly and everytime we have a family gathering, he will always be the life of the party. Their family is just a simple lower middleclass type family, then eventually blessings started to come and I notice that in alot of families with special kids having worked in a hospital before.
