This was written by a fellow mum of a child with dyspraxia, it make me cry when I read it but special too. Thanks Ami
Before you were born, you were created in Heaven through the eyes of God as a perfect soul. Ten fingers, ten toes, and two eyes that reflected Heavens light. Pure and untainted innocence illuminated you, and Gods grace encircled your every move.

One special day, God said to you, My child, it is time for you to choose your mother

Whats a mother? you asked.

A mother is a woman of unlimited love, God replied. The one you choose will carry you to life on earth, nurture you, care for you, and love you with every breath she takes. The one you choose would starve to feed you and would die to save you.

You and God walked hand in hand to an opening in the clouds where the rays of Heaven beamed down on earth. The rays encompassed every heart worthy of a child, making all the women glimmer from head to toe like gold. There were so many mothers to choose from.

They are all so beautiful! you exclaimed. How do I decide?

Your innocent curiosity pleases me, God said. Before you decide, you must know that I created you here in Heaven as a perfect soul, but on earth, you will face many difficulties as you grow. Some may see you as different. The path I have set for you will not be an easy one.

What will make my earthy journey difficult? Why cant I be like everyone else? you asked. How is this going to help me pick my mother?

God smiled and said, My child, you will grow and develop, and you will learn and be wise, but just not as quickly as other children your age. There will be limits to your abilities, and you will struggle to find your voice. On earth no one is perfect. I have given each life on earth a path of its own, full of challenges and triumphs much like yours will be. Have faith in me, little one, for I have plans for you. I did not create you without a purpose. As for your decision, God continued, it takes an extraordinary woman to care for such a unique and sacred child. You must find a mother who will see beyond your earthly imperfections, and see you as I do now, a perfect soul.

You sat on Gods lap and together made a list of everything you found and desired in a mother. You discovered a woman who can heal wounds with a single kiss and release warmth in a single embrace. You found patience and understanding, courage and wisdom as well as guidance, security, strength and gentleness. You desired faith and determination and most importantly, love, pure and unconditional. This mother would see you as Gods original creation and love you as nothing less than perfect.

"I think I have found her! She's right down there!" you cried out, pointing through the clouds. "Do you see her, God? Do you see her?" you asked God with unsuppressed excitement.

There, wrapped up in one single life, was a mother just for you. She possessed all your heart's desires. You were in awe at how flawless one human could be, and shyly questioned God, "With all my limitations, will this woman really see me as perfect?"

Yes, God replied. She will see you as more than perfect. She will see your birth as a miracle. She will see the rising and the setting sun in your smile. In your eyes, she will see the gleaming stars of Heaven. Your mothers favorite scent will be your breath as she cradles you to sleep, and her favorite sound will be your enchanting giggles as you dream of angels.

With anticipation, you wholeheartedly looked at God and softly asked, When can I have my mother?

Without a moments hesitation, God held you tight, closed His eyes and whispered, I will always be with you. Now go, my child. Your mother is expecting you. Wrapped within Gods holy embrace, you could feel the rhythm of His heart beating. Mesmerized by the sound of two hearts beating together in unison, your eyes fell heavy and you drifted down from Heaven to your mother.
