About a month ago, I was at Ronald Reagan National Airport waiting to board the airplane after a wonderful weekend at McLean Bible Church’s Accessibility Summit. But instead of announcing it was time to board, an airline official announced the flight had been canceled because of inability to assemble a flight crew.<\/p>\n

A few minutes later, the other passengers and I were lined up in front of the customer service desk. I was not at all pleased to discover that a) the next available flights weren’t until Monday, b) the airline would pay for hotel rooms but not for food or any other expenses caused by the delay, and c) I was experiencing emotions very similar to those that accompanied the arrival of our medically fragile son.<\/p>\n

With 17 hours until the rescheduled flight’s take off, I had P-L-E-N-T-Y of time to think about the similarities between flight delays and parenting a child with special needs. Here are my top ten:<\/p>\n

10.\u00a0 Unexpected expenses pop up all the time and everywhere.<\/p>\n

9.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Sleep deprivation is an integral part of each circumstance.<\/p>\n

8.\u00a0 \u00a0 In both cases, it’s wise to pray first, speak second, and then pray some more.<\/p>\n

7. \u00a0 Parents and passengers learn very quickly that are not in control.<\/p>\n

6.\u00a0\u00a0 Flexibility is essential, not optional.<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0\u00a0 Both parents and passengers learn to bite their tongues.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0\u00a0 Once the dust settles and their tongues have healed, parents and passengers need to advocate for better treatment. (My letter of complaint went out later that week. I’ll keep you posted on how that goes.)<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0 Both situations are rife with rudeness and unexpected grace.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0 They are both cauldrons in which deep and lasting friendships form.<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0 Two crucial elements can transform these potential negatives into positives: a sense of humor and a spirit of forgiveness.<\/p>\n

Now, parents of kids with special needs, what would you add to the list? Leave a comment!<\/p>\n
