wonderful story

i just wanted to say , i watched the movie as well, it was so heart touching and very close to home for me, i have a grandson Name Kevin , he is 13 yrs old, he has cerebral palsy,,, he is a delight to our family, he has come so far , at one time he couldn't even sit up without falling over, he's been in school since he was 3 yrs old, and he has accomplished so much , but still such a long way to go , when i see stories of such, it gives me so much hope,,,,,, i would love to see my Kevin up and walking & talking , but just to know that he is still here on this earth with us, it's such a blessing,,,,,i'am sure there are many other families that can say the same,,,,,,,,,
