End it!

I am on the campaign

to end the use of the R word.

I hope you will join forces with me.

The R word is the word

retarded.

People use it carelessly

I used to, then my good friend, Esther

got a grandson with special needs.

I adore him.

Next, my great-nephew was born 

with special needs.

He is so amazing.

I stopped using it haphazardly.

And then, God sent us Ollie.

I am in love with this most special baby.

Now the word really wounds.

Retarded is a hate word.

It is a disparaging word.

This word generalizes a group of people 

who cannot be generalized.

This word does not describe 

Brett, Zavier, nor Ollie.

Let's make a concerted effort 

to stop using this contemptuous word.

It is hurtful and malicious.

Please go to the link

R-word

to join the campaign 

to wipe out the use of this

offensive term.

Let's be an accepting,

  and understanding people.

Let's love up on each other 

and show the world 

an example to follow.

For you created my inmost being;

you knit me together in my mother's womb.

I praise you because 

I am fearfully and wonderfully made;

your works are wonderful,

I know that full well.

My frame was not hidden from you

when I was made in a secret place,

when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.

Psalm 139: 13-15
