What a great story and even greater that you were there to witness it! It is amazing to see the true capabilities of people come out regardless of handicaps. Treat people like they are handicapped, they will live handicapped. Treat them, associate with them, and give them opportunities just the same as everyone else, and they will perform like everyone else.

This is great! Thanks for the comment.

I have a handicapped nephew who has multiple disabilities. He is unable to speak clearly due to a trache and is unable to walk or run. None the less he never complains of his inabilities. He is just the happiest little boy I know despite all his problems. My nephew who is 8 years old now was not expected to live past his first birthday. With support and many prayers, he his still with us from the help of the Lord. At our County fair this past fall, he was old enough to join 4-H and show a feeder calf. My father who has been a strong influence on Cory decided that he should be able to do all the things that the other kids are doing despite his handicap. My father came up with a contraption that would hook Cory and my dad together so that Cory could walk with the assistance of my dad and show his calf. Cory and dad showed two times at the fair and though they did not get blue ribbons Cory was laughing and smiling the whole time he was out there. The last day of the fair the kids are required to sell their animals they showed. Cory had fallen in love with his calf and knew he wouldn’t see him again. But with the help of my dad’s wise words he was able to calm Cory down to get in the ring to parade his calf around so the bidders could bid on his calf for sale. I was in the stands watching and what happened was the most touched thing I have ever experienced. The sale started and it was a mad bidding going on. Peoples numbers were flying up and people were screaming out bids just to beat the last highest. This went on for what seemed like forever. As I glanced over at my dad and Cory, Cory was hugging his calf’s neck and my dad was standing there fighting his own tears. I couldn’t fight mine any longer as I was sad for Cory and touched by all the bidders. The sale ended and Cory set a record for highest bid on an animal that was not “Grand Champion.” It just goes to show you that handicapped or not you can still live a normal life!!!
Thanks for sharing the video David. Has touched me once again!
