Mom’s Beautiful Story About Raising A Child With Disability Is Proof That Love Conquers All

The love of a mother knows no bounds and nothing can ever take away from that feeling. Especially, and contrary to what people think, the child’s disability. Because beauty is in the eye of the beholder, you see? And when the beholder is a mother, her child is the most beautiful little person in the world!

For Natalie Weaver, her daughter Sophia is the queen of her heart. But playing mother to a child with physical deformities and complex medical needs comes with its own set of hardships.

In a Twitter thread, Natalie talks about the adorable little Sophia, her likes and dislikes, and how their beautiful family is just perfect!

For years, Natalie remained private about the subject but she finally decided to share with the world what and absolute delight and a learning experience raising Sophia has been for her.

She starts by asking people to open their minds to the idea that a child with disabilities can also live a joyous life as the queen of the house!

Sure, little Sophia may need some help to go through everyday life, but she makes sure she does everything she loves, like listening to music and even playing with her siblings!

Because of her disability, Sophia’s life may have seen more ups and downs, joys and sorrows than most other kids’ her age. But that hasn’t dulled her sparkle!

We’ve all heard that a child gives birth to a mother. In Sophia’s case, she has given her mother Natalie a whole new perspective of looking at her life.

4. A beautiful insight!

This is lovely. Thank you for sharing Anyone who has been blessed with a special family member knows…Where the body & mind fail, the spirit excels! Perhaps we fear those who have different physical & mental abilities because through them we see our own spiritual shortcomings.
