I salute you

I have met some of the kindest most giving people throughout my daughter's journey with special needs. Her supervising physical therapist knew the health struggles Maryam was going through being admitted to the hospital twice this week, and she didn't leave our side. She stayed with me at home while I got ready to pack, came with me to the pediatrician to help me along the way, drove with me to the hospital and stayed until we were able to speak with doctors about what's going on. She got a call amidst all of this from her family saying that her father was admitted to the ER because of a fall. Her brother with down syndrome, who was the reason she went into the special needs field,  anxiously wanted her to be with him. With all that going on in her family, she didn't leave Maryam's side right away. She made sure she was in good hands before leaving to her family. I saw selflessness and sacrifice. I will never forget how she stood by me and cared so much about Maryam as if she was her own daughter. I have a whole new level of respect for all those in the field of special needs. It seriously takes a tremendous amount of patience to be in it. Hats off to you.
