Funny seeing this story here on FR at this time. Our priest talked about this young man and his restaurant at Mass this morning. He used him as an example that all life is precious and pointed out the fact that a large percent of babies who are known to have Down Syndrome before birth are aborted.
I’m glad your priest was talking about this. It’s a very inspiring story.
A little off topic, but not really, I always remember years ago my brother and I were living in Brooklyn. One day we met up by the subway when we both got home from work, it was the height of rush hour. My brother pointed out a woman leaving the subway and making her way (presumably) home. She was walking with great effort because she was using 2 crutches. My brother said “you see somebody like that and you say: what do I have to complain about?”
I always remember that, but to be honest, I still complain a lot. My brother was a bit of a stoic.
