We can\u2019t have one without the other. For many years I didn\u2019t appreciate this truth. Now I do.\u00a0Today is my birthday again, and I\u2019ll welcome joy and sorrow to my party. They\u2019ve put in appearances before.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I have no doubt that they\u2019ll do it again.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>They first showed up the year I turned either two or three. I\u2019m not sure which, but it was the first birthday I remember. My mom made a chocolate birthday cake with chocolate frosting. She decorated it with the outline of a clown holding a bunch of balloons. The strings were thinly piped icing and the balloons were round, sour ball candies. Then she covered the cake with foil, put it and me in the car, and drove to where my dad had been hospitalized since his diagnosis multiple sclerosis. We celebrated with him and a little girl he\u2019d befriended. She was a few years older than me and lay on a stretcher throughout the party. She liked the cake and the candies, too.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Two things about that day remain vivid in my mind\u2013her joyful wave when the nurse wheeled her away when the party ended, and the sorrow in Dad\u2019s eyes as he waved back.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Joy and sorrow visited on my twenty-sixth birthday, too. My two-month-old son was in a hospital 750 miles away from home, and I was with him. He was recovering from an emergency operation to correct complications related to the life saving surgery he\u2019d undergone at birth. I sat next to our two-month-old\u2019s crib and watched his chest rise and fall.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.keyministry.org\/specialneedsparenting\/2020\/7\/27\/birthdays-and-disabilities-are-like-cake-and-ice-cream\"><strong>To read the rest of this post, visit Key Ministry&#8217;s blog for parents.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Do you like what you see at DifferentDream.com?
