Stacy found a song/video on YouTube that really hits home. The song is “The Life That’s Chosen Me,” written by Karen Taylor-Good and Lisa Aschmann. It’s about having a child with special needs. In my Father’s Day post, I shared similar thoughts/feelings that she shares in the first verse:
We had such expectations, we would soon be giving birth
Karen Taylor-Good and Lisa Aschmann
To the next Chopin, the next Einstein, the greatest child on earth
And we’d be the perfect family, soon we’d have the perfect kid
We’d never have a challenge or a problem, God forbid
Oh but Life had different plans, so I need for you to understand
This is not the life that we chose, it was the life that was chosen for us. It’s not an easy life by any means, but it is ours. And we will make the best of it. The link to the video is below. You might want to have some Kleenex handy.
