Love is free why waste it

I was always an advocate for better care for the disabled and severely handicap or any handicap for that matter.

I grew up with kids my mom fostered in from nearby reservations that were deaf and had fetal alcohol syndrome and many other disabilities, my mom who took these children in was a beautiful thing to see, she was a sign language teacher at a local collage at night and a special aid worker with these children during the day.

To me that was courageous and strong with a heart of gold, no one forced her to take these kids in she did it to give them hope for the future not think about the harsh realities that waited for them at home.

That wanted me to be a teacher for the special needs watching my mom work all day with these children and come home to them yelling and screaming but didn’t haze her one bit, cause she knew deep down that these children had nothing more then her love and she showed it.

Me and my sister grew up with watching that everyday for 5 or more years. They were are family we didn’t care what race or there background it was to show there’s more then what is back home you can be lived anywhere.

We moved and I went too school and treated everyone the same but if you so much as picked on a disabled person or any handicap I would be on you friend or not you were in my sights if that was happening.

I had two good friends I would sit with one autistic and one had Down syndrome we would have a blast my they both had there funny ways one would draw a picture of a house and fence yard everything take it too the teacher in science come back smiling ear to ear got an A so I said well watch me get an a do the same thing almost too the tee and bring it too the teacher both be laughing at me already and the teacher would give me a c- and I would be like what c- exaggerating to make it sound like I was upset and both would just start howling out with laughter. That made me feel good to see that while the others in the class wouldn’t bat an eye.

I have so many great stories I could go on for days so ill just say this last thing. We are all equal it’s how you approach the situation and your attitude that counts, we must put more love out there for everyone and less hate, it takes less muscles to smile then to frown so it takes less to show love then hate and I would like to say thank you too my mom for being the one to show me we are all deserving of love. Thank you mom and I’ll always love you for that beautiful lesson.
