Special Note for a
Special Needs Mom
When 8 year old Riley started screaming and throwing things
in a North Carolina restaurant, things got a little difficult for his family—especially,
his mother. The ADHD special needs child
with severe learning difficulties. The mom, Ashley England and her family thought
they might just leave when they couldn’t get the child to calm down. It was not the first time this had happened and
before they left, feeling quite defeated.
This time was different. Many of
the customers were probably upset but one did something that made all the
difference. She paid for their meal and
even sent the family a note via the waitress.
The witness, interviewed by Daily News
(Wednesday 4, 2013), said she could hardly keep from crying when she talked
to Ashley England. She said, “I’ll try
to do this without crying but another customer has paid for your entire bill
and even sent you a note. It read, “God
only give’s special needs children to special parents.” That simple gesture brought Ashley to
tears. I hope that someone reading this blog
would be motivated to go a little out of their way, give a little bit, give a
little extra effort and make a big difference
in a the life of a child with special needs and/or their families. “God DOES give special needs children to
special parents!”
