A Lot To Think About

I have four very special and most wonderful children.  Each day they bless me with warm accepting smiles and hugs.  They understand that I am imperfect.  They don't care.  They are just happy that I am their mother.  How cool is that!

What I want most for my kids is to be allowed to grow and achieve all their abilities will allow.  I don't want to have to worry that because my  youngest has 'brown' skin (as he says), some vigilante will shoot him down.  Or some company may not hire him.  Or some STUPID mother won't let him date her daughter. I don't want his heart or his spirit to be broken. I don't want his life cut short.  http://globalgrind.com/news/michael-skolnik-trayvon-martin-george-zimmerman-race-sanford-florida-photos-pictures

I don't want to have to worry that my middle son will not be allowed to work or learn or have a girl friend or whatever he wants, because he has Down syndrome.  http://davehingsburger.blogspot.com/2012/03/i-saw-someone-today.html?m=1

I just want ALL of my children to be allowed to dream, and be, and grow, and achieve.  I want what everyone wants for their children:  Acceptance.
