M&M's and Sketch Cartoons

He doesn't like peanut butter in his chocolate; he tells me there are better things by far.
But he doesn't realize how fragile he is.
He can't play kickball for the whole recess; he can only play the first seven minutes. And when he talks to the teachers, they have to kneel down to his level because sometimes his voice is hard to hear. He has to have someone carry his tray for him at lunch, and when he walks in the halls, he has to hold his teacher's hand.

Jimmy is special. But he isn't special because he needs more help than others to perform everyday tasks. He saves people from themselves. He teaches them how to love what they have lost. And he tells us, "It's all going to be okay."

--Somehow, I believe him.
