Perfectly Unique

Yesterday, for the first time in Matthew's 15+ months, a stranger noticed and commented on Matthew's missing thumbs.  Mattie and I were at an electronics store where the really nice manager (at least I hope he was the manager, he was very 'managerial' & personable) was being very sweet to Matthew, smiling and waving to him.  As Matthew waved back, the manager looked hard at Matthew and then at me, saying "his hands".  I smiled "yes, he doesn't have thumbs."  And the manager had the most wonderful response-- "he's perfectly unique."  Perfect words that totally fit our sweet baby Matthew.  Just the way God made him.
