How true, how true! Everyone, especially children, need to know that it's okay and they are only wanting to be treated like everyone else. I loved this, absolutely loved it. ::smiles:: jh

THIS IS OUTSTANDING. If you have a chance
you might really enjoy reading "Still Me"
The autobiography of Christopher Reeve.
Not only do we do all these things, but Inside we feel as unhandicapped as Anyone.

Linda, your compassion and passionate work inspires. A mentor said to me when I was having health problems, that "if you can function according to your own needs, you are in good health." Wise words, and helps us to look beyond what we can't do, and to concentrate on what we can do. It's hard to see children suffer so. You enhance everyone's awareness with your work.

Love,
Elizabeth

so glad you reposted this poem, linda; this is probably among my very favorites of the ones you have done; as a handicapped person, i know how people tend to treat me because i walk on a crutch and limp, and i know of the stares and comments directed at me. still, i try to go on, and i try to do my job to the best of my ability; and i have proven to be a very good and dedicated worker at my job, which i have been at for 3 1/2 years now. i work at golden corral, and i roll silverware. i love my job, and i am very grateful to be working, even though my job is not the greatest and don't get paid what i should. (((HUGS))) and love, your friend, karen lynn in texas. :D

Wow Linda.
You know I work for Cerebral Palsey of NJ.
I live these feelings every day, putting the focus on abilities, not disabilities.
You really put it all into words.
You angel you.
Love,
John
