I was worried that someone hurt you to the core and made you feel unsure. It felt like you had to justify the way you are...<br /><br />Maybe it was like this to me, becUse to me it feels like this very often. I was surprised becuase I read that you did not want to live without your disability. I sure as hell want to live without mine; without the pain, the breathing trouble all the scars and the longing to have a family more sleep without nightmares and more stamina...<br /><br />I guess for me what I consantly learn from your blog and what you wNted to say with this post is; everyone is differenr, unique and allowed to live on this here planet as comfortable and loved as possible. People are no clones. Stop thinking in chest of drawers and start thinking in loving and kind ways about the inidividual person.<br /><br />Enjoy being with different people. Enjoy!<br /><br />???<br /><br />JuliaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-72832949564129580122012-07-06T09:40:15.739-04:002012-07-06T09:40:15.739-04:00Congrats on throwing that closet door open.

But when I copy/paste the photo into word and blow it up (and crop it and blow it up again)it turns out that you and Joe and Ruby and the hat are all very blurry, probably because the picture taker was a bit too far and you were all moving. Any chance you could have Joe or someone take a picture of just you with the hat?<br /><br />For one thing, I don't even know what a "pillbox hat" is so would like to find out :-)<br /><br />Andrea S.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-18471766131427951992012-07-06T09:39:13.659-04:002012-07-06T09:39:13.659-04:00I love this post.I love this post.Liz Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09469435277058701080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-89551433943216837142012-07-06T08:43:50.802-04:002012-07-06T08:43:50.802-04:00I have been to the Pride parade in Toronto several...I have been to the Pride parade in Toronto several times and have seen and been part of the diversity there. It's amazing and bright and colourful and unforgettable. Even if I did not know you, I am pretty sure I would have noticed the man in the yellow hat glowing like the sun. <br /><br />I'm sure plenty of people noticed you and I'm equally sure that your courage to be who you are touched people you don't even know and perhaps gave them the courage they needed to do the same thing in their life. <br /><br />A toast to the brave souls who are who they are.Celinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14928683745163070763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-19744564297694911402012-07-06T07:03:37.820-04:002012-07-06T07:03:37.820-04:00"Hats off!!"

(I had to)..to you, Joe, and all the people who make this diverse world the wonderful place it can and should be!!! <br /><br />Visibility is such a big part of the "inclusion" movement. Visibility leads to awareness, awareness leads to thought, thought leads to dialogue....and.... dialogue hopefully leads to understanding, celebration and appreciation of difference and diversity!!John R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09855575688523179265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-39040072310022183192012-07-06T06:55:29.069-04:002012-07-06T06:55:29.069-04:00Dear Dave:

I don't get why we take beautiful little kids and teach them to be ashamed of who they are. And then they have to spend the rest of their lives overcoming that shame. Hurrah for your little yellow hat and what it represents!<br />ColleenColleennoreply@blogger.com
