People Who are Truly Strong

So many people see disabilities as a sign of weakness, but it is not. These people have gone through numerous tests and have been poked and prodded their entire life. They stand up in the face of doubt and discrimination. They are truly strong.

Luke has been through so much in 19 months. He has so much more to go through. Even though he has had some issues, he continues to be bright and sweet. I am the one who is weak.

There are people in this world who need to change their way of looking at people with disabilities. We have so much we could learn from all of them. They are, first and foremost, PEOPLE. Their disability is only a small part of who they are.
