Morty--

I'm laughing through tears!

In the town across the river there was a boy who had several disabilities, and LOVED basketball. (He'd loved it even when he was in Jessica's kindergarten) He was on the basketball team from 5th through 8th grade, and the coach made sure he played every game. The kids would always include him and the opposing team was often astonished, but slowed down accordingly so Jason would be truly included. (I always wished Jessica's coach could have seen this, as he was the sort who would play Jessica for 30 seconds a game, and his daughter for all but about 2 minutes, and claim everyone got equal time!) I thank God for the grace shown by the people touched by these lovely children. BTW I saw Jason in HS a few years ago, where he was in the vo-tech shop program. Again he had a great teacher who took him as far as he could, and Jason was ecstatic about the work he was doing.
