Differently Abled (fly your freak flag high)

I don't have kids, but have nieces and nephews. I also have kids in my neighborhood. My nieces and nephews and great nieces and nephews cover all age ranges from newborns all the way up to mid-30's.

They all know that I am different. It is very obvious for them. Let me give a good example. I went to dinner and was wearing black khaki pants with a navy belt. I thought it was black. I struggle with reading to them if they ask me for help with homework. It breaks my heart. Math is nothing short of hell. I point them to someone else for help. And my gosh, kindergardeners are being given computer classes. I can barely get on here. And these kids today have the knowledge and computer savvy - it blows my mind.

Now mind you, I can teach them how to swim, throw a football spiral spin, throw a curve ball, talk sports, smoke cigars & pipes, and all about boating.

I love kids, but am very grateful that I don't have any of my own. The support of 1 person is the difference between being 6 feet in a hole vs alive for me.
