Please enlarge to view. I did this scrapbook page because this poem touched me so. I was given this after the birth of our first son. I am often asked what it's like to raise a special needs child. I often give them this poem.

this was bitter sweet. I am a volunteer at "The Ronald McDonald House of Cleveland". I also work with Murray Ridge. I thought this trip was sooo touching. Great job in helping others have a tidbit of understanding. Thank you for scraping this one.
