They had a special olympic competition here this week. I went down to take some pictures and interact with the participants alittle. All of these special people are so happy and so willing to speak to a new friend. This is allso serious competiton for them. Winning regional and state awards is some of my sons fondest memories. I brag about them the way alot of parents brag about thier children playing in the state playoffs. The next time your local community holds one of these competions, become a volenteer. I promise you will get back way more than you could ever give to these gentle souls.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

Billy - When my students came to school on the Monday after their olympics, proudly wearing their medals and excitedly describing the races in which they competed, it was a great moment. I like how you captured the racers, coaches and mentors in this image. Thad

You are a very compassionate man BTK and it shows in this photo and your gentle words. A good reminder on how we all can help. Good post.

Cameras are like people--sometimes they lose focus.

Exercise is important for everyone but we often don't do enough, so it's encouraging to see your upload Billy. This is a good entry into the people category. (o:

Somehow this image really grabbed me. My husband used to work with special needs people. As has been said, they are the gentlest of souls...
