Guardian

I was listening to "Guardian", by Alanis Morisette today.  The chorus really got to me.

"I’ll be your keeper for life as your guardian  
I’ll be your warrior of care your first warden  
I’ll be your angel on call, I’ll be on demand   
The greatest honor of all, as your guardian."

I think all parents feel that way about their children.  But when you have a developmentally disabled child, those feelings are especially powerful.  I know that Middle Son will never be able to take care of himself.  He will always need someone to be his guardian.
