I lost nearly all the friends I had when he was born due to their own ignorance, insurance companies refused to insure us, school systems refused to see him for anything other than a student that would get them twice as much funding as a "normal" child, family members who didn't know how to handle it became too busy for us all the time, and parents of children in our neighborhood and at one sitter we had refused to allow their children to play with my son. Ignorance is the real culprit here and it has taken me years to get to a point where I don't really blame these people for their actions. I now know that it is their loss and their lives are the ones to really suffer because of their actions. I have been blessed and no prejudice can take that away.Lisa Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17786298247764261808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4319577559301208538.post-66776738116448932742010-08-05T07:09:12.936-07:002010-08-05T07:09:12.936-07:00Thank you for this good reminder!

And then the saying, "walk a mile in another person's shoes". It's good to be aware, and then cut some slack in the ropes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
