I recently read a post from one of my friends (pam and rhett). It talks about her recent trip to their local toys-r-us store. Rhett has Downs Syndrome and is as cute as a button. While in the store, the girl at the checkout made some very rude and very uncalled-for comments to Pam about Rhett. I was appalled and disgusted to think that they let people like that work in a place revolved around kids of various lifestyles and backgrounds. I encourage you all to read their story and put yourself in Pam's shoes for just a moment. I pray that a day will come when people will see these special needs kids for what they are-- beautiful blessing that should never be taken for granted.
*Pam's post is dated Oct 5 under "okay seriously, why do I run into all the idiots?" (so true, Pam!)

Aimee,
I couldn't find the article to your friends problem. Could you post it on my recent blog.
Thanks
Karie
I read that post as well and felt the same way that you did. I can't believe how some people can be so insensative.
OH MY GOSH! What a total B, i cannot believe anyone could be so rude. If anybody were to treat brody like that, it would not be good. It would be the end of it. How can people be so selfish. The fact that they aborted because of that just makes me sick.
I read that post as well and was very, very upset about it. I could not believe how ignorant people can be. I actually thought about posting it on my blog as well, but didn't have the time before I left home for a few days. Thanks for spreading the word though, I think other's need to be aware of how rude people can be.
I read it on her blog the day of. When Rhett was in the hospital I called her and talked to her on the phone. I asked Pam if she ever did anymore and she said she was thinking of writing corporate. I just cannot believe people can make statements like that. It angered me even more that it occured in a toy store of all places (not that there is a right place to begin with).
Hope all is good with you and your job.
Thinking about your family,
Kaci
