Still Learning!

Today I was witness to an amazing event. My children and I went to the park to play and at the same time a group of kids with mental disabilities and their teachers were also there. I was a little concerned, knowing that some mental disabilities can be undpredicatable, but there was a young man with whom my sons made a playground bond. He was much older then them and he had a walking diability, but he and my boys played like they were life buddies. I was humbled by the way my 5 year old treated him like any other person, and you could tell that really made his day. One day I will return to the memory of how no matter a persons outward appearance they can and will bring joy to your life with a laugh and a smile.
