This is Jimmy.
He is to a certain degree mentally disabled.
His mom did not want him so she dropped him off with a couple here in Tupac.
They do not really want him either. They truly asked if we wanted to take him.
Jimmy does not have any papers so he cannot attend school.
Usually his speech is so slurred you cannot understand what he is saying.
The kids like to pick on him and tease him.
BUT…
He always runs around with a huge smile on his face.
He loves giving everyone hugs.
He gets excited about the small things in life.
He loves sitting on your lap and having you scratch his back or play with his hair.
Jimmy is one of the happiest little boys that I know.
WHY?...
Jimmy does not worry what others think.
He offers love to anyone will accept it.
He always looks for the positives of life.
Jimmy does not talk much…
But I have learned so much from him.
Benjamin Schnell used to have a vehicle named Jimmy that was a little mentally disabled as well. It, too, would go around hugging people and smiling and not caring about what others thought of him. Then, Ben got rid of Jimmy and drove 90 mph all over the back roads in his mom's amazing Thunderbird (?) or something. But I miss Jimmy. I'm sure you're Jimmy will be missed too.
ReplyDeleteKeeping it Simple. Such a basic lesson that is re-learned over and over again.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure he appreciates the love you show him too.
