special kids

my sister, amanda and me. amanda and i watched the parade on the 3rd together from inside because she didn't like the noise. the next day we watched the fireworks and it was all the more enjoyable watching her little face light up along with the explosions. being with kids like her makes me wonder if i should devote my life to working with kids with special needs. so many of them have a beauty that comes from a place so pure. a lot of the women in my family have chosen to serve those children everyday, and i find it to be an incredibly noble pursuit. at the same time, i just don't know if i have the innate talent that it requires.
