Heartwarming story. Died way to young. Sounds like he lived to the Max. May he rest in the arms of our Lord.
Job well done.

And put a purple stripe all around flag to represent the 50 to 75% of those on "disability" that don't have anything wrong with them other than their feeling of entitlement and the lead in their lazy ass.

Looks like someone gave Michael J Fox a handful of crayons and said 'get to work'!

This is related. RFK must be a Nazi because he doesn't celebrate autism.

Quote:

It seems clear that most parents of autistic children in America love the children and see great value in the children's activities and thoughts. It also seems clear that most of these parents also would prefer that their children could live free from the effects of autism and that a way is found to prevent autism from developing in other children.

That is commonsensical.

But, when people in the media are looking for any and every basis to tar Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and his presidential campaign, his dedication to the ordinarily perceived of as admirable goal of seeking to reduce the prevalence of autism is twisted by opponents into a vicious perspective.

MSNBC columnist Eric Garcia wrote in Sunday editorial focused on Kennedy that "the crux of his baseless claim that vaccines cause autism is the ugly message that being autistic is bad."
Notice the language Garcia uses.
He does not write that Kennedy says people with autism are bad people.
Yet, it is just that misreading that would make the "ugly message" designation make any sense.

My son is disabled, has CP. He will claim his identity in Christ... so no thanks to the gimmicky flag.

We put my dad in hospice around this time in 2019 on a Wednesday afternoon. We left for home, but came back on a Friday afternoon. When we got there, we met the nurse on duty (a different one from Wed), a WONDERFUL lady who was a blessing in so many ways. She started to explain to us my dad's update and stuff was was using her hands a lot. She then apologized, saying "sorry about that; I use my hands to talk as my son is non-verbal CP." My wife chimed in, saying, "no problem; I teach the hard of hearing so I use sign language."

I didn't have anything to say, but I'm standing there thinking, "I wish some people I knew were non-verbal!"

Anyway, I spoke with her about her son at times and while it is a struggle, he couldn't have a better mom. I'm sure your son is in the same boat.

The missed opportunity was

" I will show this to the blind community and ask for a vote"

We will have so many flags, and divisions of America, we will soon wave the white flag.
Some don't look it as "division" but as acceptance and INCLUSION in America. Since you look at it as "division" you might want to look at yourself and ask if you feel left out for some reason.
