I have a son who has severe physical and mental disabilities and whose life is worth living. It is worth enriching and cherishing.
Someone asked me: “When do you know when you have done enough?”
I wonder: Would he ask the same question about his own child? He implied, I think, that my child has less value and should be given fewer opportunities.
“Enough,” you ask? “Enough” is when Lew’s life is rich: Full of family, Full of community, Full of love.
