We Don't Need Action Super Heroes Anymore

I can relate to this so much. Greatest fears: I am scared that I am going to die before Cooper can live an independent life. And, that he’s never going to talk.

    Wow. Thanks. This was hard to watch, but I get it. My kids are my heroes, my everything, my pride and joy. I just want them to be happy, whoever they are. That’s more than most of us can say.
