Having a child is life changing. Having a child with special needs is life altering. When our daughter was diagnosed with a rare chromosomal disorder called Prader-Willi syndrome at just two weeks old, it came with a seemingly endless list of challenges and impossibilities. She would never feel full. She would never graduate from high school. She would never go to college. She would never live independently or get married or have children. Never. Never. Never. Littered everywhere I turned. I wondered if it also meant she would never be happy, and I wondered if it meant I wouldn’t either.
