You are very welcome...we are very blessed, nk.
We have four sons, and we are proud of all of them, and they are ALL compassionate, including the youngest...and I don’t remember teaching them that...maybe not falling for the swan-song by a special ed teacher and a pediatrician urging us to institutionalize our little guy had something to do with it, I’m thinkin’...teacher’s hubby was a psychiatrist at the state hospital, the doc had done that with his own we learned later...hoping he had no choice, but not knowing...thank God for the Lanterman Act in California...

When you teach your children the right lessons, they tend to put all those separate lessons together and learn the big picture. You can be proud of your sons’ respect for others. You taught them that, in a million little ways. If you had told them that disabled kids should be separated from the group until they can be just like everyone else, that’s what they would have learned.
