Others have said it: this is a story that has touched me so deeply. I am in tears. I think I am shedding them for all the children, all the parents, all those who are made to feel "other". Sometimes tears are the only way i can clear powerful emotion from my body. I am glad your story has offered me the opportunity to clear more "stuff". Hugs to you, you remarkable, wonderful mother, you. A🙏💚
