"Are you aware that Our Special Stars have the power to peer into your soul, give thier unconditional love, know just the right thing to say to lift you up when "YOUR" the one feeling blue and down?
A Short Story.
A few years ago, at the Seattle Special Olympics, nine contestants, all physically or mentally disabled, assembled at the starting line for the 100-yard dash.
At the gun, they all started out, not exactly in a
dash, but with a relish to run the race to the finish and win.
All, that is, except one little boy who stumbled on the asphalt, tumbled over a
couple of times, and began to cry.
The other eight heard the boy cry.
They slowed down and looked back.
Then they all turned around and went back...... every one of them.
One girl with Down's Syndrome bent down and kissed him and said, "This will make it better."
Then all nine linked arms and walked together to the finish line.
Everyone in the stadium stood, and the cheering went on for several minutes.
People who were there are still telling the story. Why? Because deep down we know this one thing:
What matters in this life is more than winning for ourselves. What matters in this life is helping others win, even if it means giving up our own victory...
And "some" people call special folks disabled or "retarded"??...

Unfortunately since my computer has changed several times since then, I have searched and not been able to track some of those urls down again. Those that I do know where they came from, I make sure credit is given. Apologies are extended for any inconvenience. Now, if you do know where they "originally" came from, please let me know.
