I love the last line.<br /><br />It's to bad that we can't always see past the labels that people create for one another.Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15012551542418581742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1079589059457212218.post-11891156743640486292011-09-29T13:19:54.305-05:002011-09-29T13:19:54.305-05:00I'm giggling because we have turkey vultures i...I'm giggling because we have turkey vultures in DC as well (in the city, yes!). They stay primarily in the woods but our first encounter was not a good one. Dang bird hopped out of the woods in front of our truck causing us to swerve. He proceeded to do this amble-skip-hop-flutter-I can't fly but I'm getting where I need to go-jump (he was so big he could NOT fly. And by big I mean he jumped across the hood of our Jeep Commander and with wings open eclipsed the entire windshield). We sat stunned.<br /><br />We'd previously heard them labeld as ugly. What he did off that truck was not pretty, but it was certainly not worth the ugly label in its entirety. And hm, perhaps I could have spoken more on labels if I wasn't so struck by someone else having turkey vultures nearby!Arnebyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16445670708629187950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1079589059457212218.post-41345867648923389282011-09-29T11:53:42.229-05:002011-09-29T11:53:42.229-05:00I wrote about labels too.

Often a lot of mommy's precious strength is wasted on trying to convince people otherwise.<br /><br />That's great about Zane is so big, strong and healthy! I love it when kids beat their prognosis.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03293649194823360181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1079589059457212218.post-75988614100441364832011-09-29T08:47:46.095-05:002011-09-29T08:47:46.095-05:00I have three kids with IEPs and a fourth that'...I have three kids with IEPs and a fourth that's about to start testing this year. So I am all to familiar with how the schools use labels to help kids. And I think they can help or hurt depending on the attitudes others have toward them.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12399082789777816445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1079589059457212218.post-60128388658056889292011-09-29T07:53:52.851-05:002011-09-29T07:53:52.851-05:00Great post.
