Most people who know us recognize this as a very special song for our family. Tonight as I'm decorating the front porch for the 4th of July with a ridiculous amount of bunting, I'm listening to my favorite songs on youtube. I had not heard this version of Natalie Merchant's Wonder, nor this introduction with her description of the song's inspiration. Take a listen.

INSPIRATIONAL WORDS
for new parents of a child
with Down syndrome
..."There’s so much to consider! About learning how to manage prejudice, and about what to say and when to say it, and about how to juggle schedules and therapies and all that. There’s forgiveness, for all of us, and strength, and love, and hope, too. And faith, in yourself, and your child. Let your child show you the way. You will find it, together, and it will be amazing. It will be all the things you hoped it would be; it’s all there, waiting for you."

Beautiful. I can't believe that her inspiration for the song is the same reason why it is your inspirational song. Did you know that this song had anything to do with people whom have disabilites?
