I absolutely love the picture of you and Samuel. It's so good to have you updating again. I have been thinking about you often as I realize Samuel's birthday is coming up soon. Are birthday's hard for you? I know that they can be for me sometimes, especially when I slow down and think about all the things that Luke is not doing, that's dangerous, don't try to go there often.</p> <p>Well just wanted to let you know that I so enjoyed getting to know you, thank you for making my time in Atlanta so special. Also to let you know you've been in my prayers lately.</p> <p>Love in Christ,<br /> Suzi</p> Wow, what a great post, well said my friend. I absolutely love the picture of you and Samuel.

Well just wanted to let you know that I so enjoyed getting to know you, thank you for making my time in Atlanta so special. Also to let you know you’ve been in my prayers lately.

The picture the post everything! Love it love it love it. You are much better at expressing things that I am when it comes to stuff like this. I just get mad. There's a new support group on the 2nd wednesday of each month at LRH for parents of kids with disabilities. If you want more info let me know. Also have you seen this www.taoswalker.com? I'm trying to get one for Colby but they need two people before they will open a state up for a new distributor. I'm passing it on to everyone I can think of. talk to you soon Erin I love it!

That was so beautifully put! When I think of little Samuel or Brea being on the receiving end of that word in it's rudest definition, I just cry. It is a way different perspective for those of us who actually have a chance to love a person as special as our children are. Thanks for sharing this. I hadn't heard of this idiots article. That pic of you and Samuel is so precious. I love it! Wow. That was so beautifully put!

There are only "Other Abled Persons". My father taught me that EVERY person can teach us something. Its up to us to take the time to learn. There is no such thing as a “retarded person”.

I too, have learned many important things from my mentally handicapped brother, and now from my precious grandson, Samuel. I believe that they are here in this life, not to learn and grow thru their experiences, like we are, but they are here to teach us. If we don't learn from them, we are missing one of the most important experiences we could have. Lots of love, Mom P.S. Thanks for being the wonderful, proactive mother you are!
