Retarded Boy I love taking care of Gus. The truth is, nobody did say we were not supposed to have favorites. Here is a man who is just the happiest person in the world, Just to see me. Here is the most grateful man in the world, Just because I am doing my job. I really have to ponder just what it means� That he has such a low IQ. He is the lone citizen of a beautiful world. When I am with him, I get a brief visit to that world. I�m reminded real quick on the way home that This is NOT a beautiful world. It is a world full of normal people� People who honk and swear and flip me the bird Just for trying to make it home in one piece. And when I finally do make it home, I breathe a sigh of relief, And I remember to wish a very Merry Christmas To my cat Molly�for Gus. John H. Bidwell

People like Gus sees the world in a different way. The world they live in is always beautiful. A well-penned piece. Happy Holidays to your and your family! Sandie Angel a.k.a. Sandie May Angel :o)
