PERSPECTIVE: "In our world, what is normal and what is perfect?"

Palin said in an interview shortly after Trig was born: "I'm looking at him right now, and I see perfection. I keep thinking in our world, what is normal and what is perfect?" That is the subversive promise of special needs children like Trig, undermining all our superficial assumptions about what is truly important.

The Palins will have a humbling, heartbreaking and inspiring lesson in life's priorities from Trig. Here's hoping it's one that, one way or the other, the rest of us share.
