My 8 year old asked me "If you had to lose 1 sense, what would it be?" I couldn't answer and he said "I'd lose touch because Nik is completely paralyzed from the shoulders down and he can still see, hear, smell and taste, yet he's happy." I still couldn't answer but that's because I had a lump in my throat. What sense would you choose to lose if you had to? And do kids with disabled parents grow up with a different perspective on what's a good life? Nik's 8 year old son strokes his dad's face instead of cuddling him as it's the only place he knows he can feel. My son once said I was lucky to be in a wheelchair and when asked why, he replied "Well, at least it hides your bum so no one can see if its big or not!!!!" LOL Perfect answer or what?????
