"I say to you today, my friends, so even though we face the difficulties of
today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the
American dream. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and
live out the true meaning of its creed:
We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia [people living with
physical and mental disabilities and people without disabilities] will be able
to sit down together at the table of brotherhood...I have a dream that [children
with special needs] will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged
by [their disability] but by the content of their character. I have a
dream today."
I share that dream with you Dr. King. We've come so far, but we still have more to do. Will you help me make this dream a reality?

I had a dream that my generation would get rid of prejudice. When I realized that we failed, I sat down and cried.
Good for Jack that he doesn't know about prejudice. You are doing a wonderful job bringing up my BB, and I am proud of you also. I hope when Jack eventually sees prejudice that he is strong enough to speak up.
Kelly...you ARE making a difference. Just reading and looking at the pictures on Jenelle's blog helps so many people learn and know about a rare disability called Lennox Gastaut Syndrome. Jenelle's sweet,loving, beautiful, little face...says volumns! 157,582 readers have read Jenelle's Journey.
