I have been debating with myself if I should even tell anyone about this for the past few weeks but its just so... I don't even know the word for it.My kid goes to this kids program once in a while when her mom is at work. She works at a gym and they have this kids center you can drop your kid off at while you work out or while you are working there and they have tons of activities. A wall of iPad's. Gymnastics. Music lessons. A chuck-e-cheese like jungle gym. Art classes. All kinds of sports activities. Basically all kind of things various kids would like and parents like their kids experiencing, they have. I go in to pick her up and instead of finding her on the iPad's or in gymnastics or in art class like usual, she is sitting on the floor, playing with a another little girl that happens to be in a wheel chair. My eyes started to water because it hit me hard being a dad thats disabled and being abandoned by friends ive known since high school.She passed on all the other activities to hang out with that girl. She makes friends with everyone and she decided she was going to be friends with that little girl that day. That girls disability was the very last thing on her mind. She saw her as just another kid wanting to play and not someone that was different.At that moment, I truly realised just how pure kids are and how they want to be freinds with everyone. Race, sex, color and disability means nothing to them and I couldnt have been more proud of my little one at that moment. via /r/Parenting http://bit.ly/2ELae3a
