If you can self-deprecate, if you can forgive, if you love the friends you have chosen to love, if you see beauty where there is none, well then… anything can happen.  Even a miracle!

“I know I am no ordinary nine year old boy.  What I mean is, of course I do ordinary things.  I eat ice cream.  I ride a bike.  I play ball.  I have an Xbox.  Those are the things that make me an ordinary child.  At least I think so.  Besides, I feel ordinary... inside.  I know, however, that people don’t look strangely at ordinary children... I know that ordinary children don’t make other children run away screaming from the playground.”
