Description
Eugene Havens explores the blessings, joys, and benefits of parenting a child with special needs. For Eugene, parenting his son Percy is an honor. Not because it’s easy. Not because it makes him look like a super-parent. Not for any outward reason. Only for this. Parenting his son is what he was made to do.
From the back cover
Love. Loyalty. Togetherness.
Destiny is found in a person.
“My son was born with Down syndrome. I had no idea what to expect. The doctors told us there was a hole in Percy’s heart. He couldn’t gain weight. Overwhelmed and unqualified, I became his 24/7 caregiver. The first two years were a struggle. With love and care, Percy began to thrive. And yet, the challenges kept coming. We would go through health scares, developmental delays, and education issues. Why are we so happy? Because we have our son, Percy. We get to keep him. We get to watch him grow.” —Eugene Havens
