With the exception of your foot encounter, I am glad to hear of your experiences with Special Olympic Athletes. Your prospective of what is important in life can really change through these enlightening encounters. I have three daughters, the youngest 10, can sometimes drive us to the edge with non-stop talking, then you stop, reflect and thank God that you have a child who can even talk. I know that many of the parents of these wonderful athletes would give anything, just to hear their child say one word. Pete
