I learned from a movie That even the mentally challenged can fall in love People that are normal Never think that is right But the can be normal just like us Get their own homes Get married And raise children on their own Some of us normal people Look down on this We think they are not capable Of raising their own kids So when the babies come Some people take them away imeddiately after birth But the parents fight for their kids Because even though they are mentally challenged They have the right To care for their children So when you see the mentally challenged Out there on their own I would say I am proud of them The deserve to lead normal lives Just like the rest of us So if you do see them Say we are proud of you. Cold hands means a warm heart |

How true it is. They're not stupid, just a bit challenged. What is life without poetry and adventure? |

i watched the movie maybe two hours ago. i loved it. my son has autism, and i know he can do anything he wants, and if anyone ever tried to stand in his way, i would be right there fighting for his rights. |

There nothing profoundly "normal" about love - the requisite love, that is, you write about here. The inspiration to love the mentally challenged and that they have that same capacity, is divine. What a thoughtful theme! |

Julie, this is really a tender write. Indeed, love does not set limits, in any direction, and knows no boundaries. Kudos to you for writing about this movie, to honor their rights to express the greatest of human emotions. |
