How do kids inspire you?

The world may look with pity at families with a child with visible disabilities.

And parents often get untold strength from this very child.

They do things they never thought they could because they must.

Much of the strength to carry on comes from the child’s own role modeling.

I’m not sure if this was the case with my parents when my brother was always dying, but there’s no way his never giving up didn’t give them strength each day.

He certainly put the doctors in their place one time.

He was anesthetized, awaiting surgery, and overheard the doctors saying—

“Yea, he DEFINITELY won’t make it through this one.”

My brother opened his eyes and told them something to the tune of —

“Like hell I won’t!”

Kids in general are often the inspiration keeping parents going, disabled or not.

What’s something your kid’s inspired you to do ?
