The...That story made me so mad, yet not surprised. There will always be someone who has a truly, mean, ignorant attitude towards people with disabilities. How sad for them, and like you said, how sad for those children being brought up in the environment and being taught such hateful ignorance. I am so glad that the server stood up and did the right thing!!! I hope I never have to come in contact with that type of ignorance, but if I do I hope someone other than me, or my family would do the same!!Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14012733380565584975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704406957662088168.post-42715888660292456352013-01-19T21:43:18.566-06:002013-01-19T21:43:18.566-06:00Sadly, I feel as though I cannot be surprised any ...Sadly, I feel as though I cannot be surprised any more either. Yet, I am relieved that someone unrelated to Milo's family stood up for them. I am relieved that the restaurant supported this waiter's decision to not serve that family Plus, I am amazed and happy to see how much the community has rallied and shown their support.

Society has come a long way, but there is still so much discrimination towards special needs. I welcome the stares. I want people to look my daughter in the face and see what one aspect of special needs is. I remember in the beginning of our journey--the wonder of whether people were looking at us. What were they thinking? Would we stick out? Would she be made fun of? I have stopped wondering so much. I know that there are people who will never get it. I am thankful for people such as this waiter, who did speak out instead of being silent and continuing to serve that family.
