(no subject)
so tonight in my religion class we were talking about death and why people are scared to die.
this obviously very southern and very christian girl gave this analyse:
(she started off by saying that she was very religious and this is why she can feel like this)
then she said that in high school she volunteered a lot especially with "retarded" kids.
this is the part that really makes me mad:
i know this sounds bad, but i really am happy when they die because they are released from all their pain and finally healthy!!!
i had no words in class that would have been appropriate. i can't believe that those words came out of her mouth. my uncle mike has downs and i have coached special olympics for 6 years so this subject is very dear to my heart. it just breaks my heart that people can think this. my kids and my uncle have brought so much to my life and i am so so so thankful for every minute i spend with them. when they are gone i will be devastated, not happy. sure my uncle's life is tough, but he is so incredibly special and unique and i love him so much.
i was livid but now i just want to cry because that is just so wrong and horrible.
and here come the tears.
