WEll that sure made me cry! My granddaughter has Downes Syndrome and I can't wait to send this to my daughter because I know she will type it up and even frame it. Just now reading it again I got goose bumps. Where did you ever find this? Thanks for posting it!

A friend of mine sent it to me. I have a son with Cerebral Palsy and I am not sure where they found it.

Very nice. But, in truth, a disability seems so only because we compare to that which is viewed as normal. To each, they are perfect and none can be singled out as normal or better. No one on this earth has knowledge of what is normal or what is disabled.

I am just now finding this. As a mother of a 16 year old daughter with cerebal palsy I have to say this really touched my heart. Thanks for posting it.
