FAMILIES WITH DISABILITIES: HOLD ON TO YOUR DREAMS NO MATTER WHAT

It's fun to dream about your child becoming an Olympic star,
or running the marathon,
or being a professional athlete.
Many children dream of such.
It's a dream that stays alive in children...
the dream of becoming famous someday.
At some point,
our children grow up and start to realize
that their dream 
was a part of their childhood;
a part just like the little teddy bear
or the little toys
that remain on the shelf 
long after the children go off on their own
***
Children with disabilities have dreams too.
Dreams that
bring a 
knowing smile (and a touch of sadness)
to their parents' hearts.
Parents with children that have mental disorders
also hold on to dreams.
But mental challenges and disorders are an invisible
wall for an otherwise able-bodied child.
And thus the sting of reality for these parents is often twice as 
hard to bear.
But don't despair. You need to watch today's 5 minute break.
Here's one of the most
hopeful, most stirring, and most inspirational moments
I've ever found on my search to bring you
a wonderful, and joyous 
5 minute break.
