I believe in God, strongly, but this is blind faith I can believe in. In my eyes, the story here is really about the people taking care of these kids who cannot return emotion in any sort of way. They 'just know' they are doing good work and 'just know' these kids are so appreciative.
The story is also about the US: our people and culture (we do have a culture!) hold the individual at the highest regard, even in these extreme circumstances. No doubt the quote below shows that we as a nation have struggled to come to this point, neverthless we show the world how each and very human life must be supported, loved, strenghtened no matter their condition. We all know previous to our nation's rise, people like those discussed in this article, and with much less debilatating conditions were locked away and hidden. We not only treat every individual with respect, we cherish them.
'Many of the caregivers are African and Asian immigrants who know such children would never have survived in their native countries. There was a time, not long ago, when they were rarely seen in this country.'
Let's thank these people for dedicating their lives to a thankless job.
