No child should be more important than any other child

What I witnessed in the train on my way to the office this morning is something that really caught my eye and touched my heart. What I saw reminded me the purpose of being a parent and that the love for your child is endless. It has also made me realize how lucky I am to have two smart, healthy and beautiful kids.

This morning, in the train I saw this family of three. Father, mother and son. What made them stand out was the fact their son (about 14 or 15 years old) had down syndrome. Yes I know it's pretty common nowadays but there was something different about this family. The father was well dressed and wore a Rolex Submarine watch. The mother was neatly dressed and styled herself in nothing but branded from head to toe. Yet you knew there wasn't any airs about this family and their love for one another was so great you could feel it rub off on to you. Well it rubbed off on me at least ...

The way she stroked her sons face gently as she spoke to him... You could see the love in her eyes for her child and I am almost assured that to her, he is the most beautiful person in her whole world.

Moving on to the father... The way he held his son in his arms as his son rested his head on his chest, the way he held his wife close to the both of them as they travelled to their destination together... It's so hard to describe in words. But it touched my heart so deeply.

It is something like this that should make everyone know that 'no child should be more important than any other child.'

For instance, Duchess of Cambridge and Prince William just had a baby and the whole world is making a fuss over it ... I question, "what's the big deal?". Yeh the child is a Prince and not just a Prince in fairy tales but in real life but so what? I'll excuse the British as they have a right to get excited and all as this baby could be their future King but why are the rest of the world making a fuss about it?

My son is also my Prince and my daughter my Princess. I am certain majority of you feel the same way about your kids too, right?

So I end this with my conclusion of "No child should be more important than any other child".

Agree? Well, everyone is welcome to their own opinions.
