Jan,
Thanks so much for sharing your special day with us. I can relate to what you
mean about these special kids. They are wonderful to be around.
My husband manages a store for a large grocery chain here in Utah. He has
several handicapped baggers. They work so hard and try their best to please.
Occasionally a narrow minded person will complain about having a "mentally
retarded" person bag their groceries. They will make comments like "do they
have to deal with the people, or can't you put them in the back somewhere"
and my husband bites his tongue and cries silent tears. He truly loves these
kids and can't believe that anyone couldn't see how special they are. It's
amazing to me, and you have to feel sorry for people who can't see and feel
how really wonderful these kids are. I'm so glad that Jordan sent you a
special friend for Jasmine's party. What a great day it must have been.
Thanks again for sharing.
Love and Prayers,
Debbie (Mom to Chelsea 18 and graduating #1 in her class of 518 YEAH!!,
