R is not for retarded....

REPOST FROM 2010

Don't say that word around me.  It may earn you a punch...It will at least earn you a lecture.  Don't call it the R word or anything else.  Expel it from your vocabulary.  Just stop using it.  Friends of mine have long ago learned that a stern lecture is not what you want from me.  It offends me.  It just does.  I shouldn't have to explain myself.  It would be like me using your name or hair color or race to describe someone who was acting ignorant or ridiculous.

My daughter has mental retardation.  That is true.  That is the medical definition.  The words written on her IEP, in her medical charts.  Accompanied by Cri du Chat, Autism, Sensory Processing Disorder, 50 D Hearing Loss...etc etc etc.

Don't say that word or use one of her diagnosis in order to insult your friends or describe something ridiculous.  It is not cool.  It makes you sound horrible.  I cringe.  Do you not see me?  Do you not see my son cringe?  Do you not hear me say that I don't appreciate it?

Stop it...Don't use that word around me.  Don't say that word at all.  It shouldn't even be in your vocabulary unless you are using it correctly.

R is for RARE
R is for RADIANT
R is for REYANN
R is for RED
R is for RADICAL

R is for lots of things...it is NOT for retarded...get rid of it from your vocabulary...it doesn't belong there.

  1. I'm so excited to share my testimonies about the Good Work of  Dr.Anuge who got me cured from herpes simplex virus (HSV1&2) with his herbs, I never thought that I would live on earth before the year runs out. I have been suffering from herpes, I had spent a lot of money going from one Hospital to another looking for a way to get rid of this disease, the hospital has been my home everyday residence. Constant checks up have been my hobby not until this fateful day, I was searching through the internet, I saw a testimony on how @Dr_anuge7 helped someone in curing his herpes disease using his healing Herbs, quickly I copied his email just to give him a test I spoke to him, he told me that he is going to provide the herbal cure to me, which he did, after I received his herbs and I took it as instructed. I was cured permanently from herpes. My herpes disease was gone. so I decided to share my testimony, that nothing is impossible with God, God used a man to heal me. No matter what you are passing through, no matter how deadly the sickness is and no matter what the situation is God that did mine is still going to do yours, people suffering from herpes, brain tumor, kidney disease, pcos, AIDS, ALS,copd, asthma, arthritis,herpes, Cancer,Hpv, any kind of disease, you can reach him now via Gmail address: dranuge@gmail.com or whatsapp  +2348164866838
