A lot of Kindness

I saw this at the beginning of the week, and knew I wanted to post this as my blog.  This heartwarming story proves people who have any kind of disability have a lot to offer, only if given the chance.  I hope this uplifts your spirits as much as it did mine.

Sibling Love

I found a wonderful letter online, posted by a young woman whose older brother has Cerebral Palsy.  It shows the true depth of meaning for those who are surrounded by disability, and what profound impact it has on them.
