Todd was a truly special person and we will all miss him very much. To those families of special needs people... I have always held it in my heart that you are their Champions. Sometimes it's a fight to get every single right and shred of help that is afforded them. Continue to champion them. Never give up. Todd...until one day, I love you buddy.

I'd love to talk with you more about this sometime. I would love to share a perspective with you from the other side and how parents with special needs children often feel isolated, alone, and abandoned by the church. I can certainly relate to being put into "the other" catagory. Pete…I’m a dad of an awesome little boy with special needs. I’d love to talk with you more about this sometime.

What a true testiment to love and loyalty. As a proud mama to a little one who is "chromosomally enhanced" (has Down Syndrome) I have realized that those who think they are better are sadly mistaken. She captures every moment and appreciates it for what it is. There is no worry of tomorrow-she has trust to know that her needs will be met. She also has a growing faith and love for Jesus that is pure. We would all be blessed to live life in this way. Prayers going up for Todd, his family and friends! Jenn Wow!

It's been 20 years since that lump has been in my throat. I have forgotten the slaps on the back fron Jenny. I remember her wet kisses on my cheek, and the love she had for her cat Tiggie. I needed this reminder. Thank you for allowing me to feel in this way again. My cousin had DS and she passed in 88. It’s been 20 years since that lump has been in my throat.

Thank you for giving us very thought-provoking subjects and sharing your real-life struggles. When I was young, in my hometown church, I thought that pretty much everyone was perfect and I felt so inadequate for God's love and mercy. Being "real" was, I guess, not allowed, without feeling totally guilty and bound for hell. Fire and brimstone was the norm, every Sunday. During that time, I missed out on really knowing God and his infinite love and forgiveness......so much lost time! Thank you, Lord, for leading me to Crosspoint and it's wonderful leaders and congregation and showing me that it's ok to be flawed and for giving me hope. As I strive to be more like you, please help me remember that we are all your children, no matter our gender, age, race, health, income, education, and so on.....thank you again for your infinite grace and mercy. Amen. Wow, Pete, you’ve had some really hard-hitting posts lately. Thank you for giving us very thought-provoking subjects and sharing your real-life struggles.
