At the request of my buddy @MarciaKarbs: Children with special needs do not have an illness. It is not contagious. They only want what we all want: to be accepted. Can I make a request of anyone who is willing to post this and leave it on your status for at least an hour? It is Special Education week, and this is in honor of all children who have special needs..My response: Absolutely! We all have special needs... We all desire to be loved, cared for and appreciated. http://bit.ly/bd9jfQ
