(and my daughter; she's the girl at the elementary school holding up the sign about having gay dads.)<br /><br />I did not know either of Elizabeth's boys well before this. They both struck me as intelligent, sensitive kids who really love their sister, but certainly not as "look-at-me" types who would easily volunteer to speak in front of their entire school, especially about such a personal subject. But the power of love is, well, powerful. Their protectiveness toward their sister and their passion about telling how the word "retarded" makes them feel blew away any concerns about shyness or stage fright or making themselves vulnerable in front of their classmates. Elizabeth was right. You could have heard a pin drop. She does indeed rock as a mom.William Lucas Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13690435765780174114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-8521569895370257322011-01-26T14:17:24.768-08:002011-01-26T14:17:24.768-08:00I'm even more in awe, and moved because, yes, ...I'm even more in awe, and moved because, yes, the stakes are higher at that age.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-77725773093928909102011-01-26T11:09:12.009-08:002011-01-26T11:09:12.009-08:00I love that henry was able to stand up there and d...I love that henry was able to stand up there and do this.
