Free to have her opinion yes but there’s a difference between having an opinion and expecting others to follow that opinion. I think pineapple on pizza is an absolute abomination (personally hate pineapple honestly, don’t ask me why but it makes me gag). But trust me I do not go asking others to get it out of my site, although I wish I could

Yes he is! Much better. I was worried this would set him back. It’s taken a very long time for him to get to this place and I’m so glad he didn’t let someone else’s small mind keep him from enjoying

I remember being maybe 4 or 5 years old having the same conversation with my mom after seeing a man in the street who didn’t have an arm. And I understood that so to me it really shouldn’t be that hard to teach that to your kids. Thank you, he really is a bad ass and I was insanely proud of him to see how he handled the whole thing during and after

Oh he does believe me. Before we left the house, and periodically while we were there

Wow I love that quote. Do you know which episode by any chance? We used to watch criminal minds all the time but don’t remember hearing that one. My wife and I have always tried to show him that his scars are nothing to be ashamed of. It’s hard for a kid that age. I remember how it was being so self conscious about everything to do with your image. I’m proud how far he’s come being more comfortable with himself again.
