Special Quotes

"You've developed the strength of a draft horse while holding onto the delicacy of a daffodil...you are the mother, advocate and protector of a child with a disability."

"Children remind us to treasure the smallest of gifts, even in the most difficult times."

"Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's true strength."

"Every child is gifted. They just unwrap their packages at different times."

"I wanna give her the world
I wanna hold her hand
I wanna be her mom for as long as I can
and I wanna live every moment until that day comes
I wanna show her what it means to be loved."

Inspiration

"Better than a thousand hollow words, is one word that brings peace."

"However many holy words you read, however many you speak, what good will they do you if you do not act on upon them?"

"No ones saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path."

"Teach this triple truth to all: A generous heart, kind speech, and a life of service and compassion are the things which renew humanity."

"There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting."
