Must Watch! the Grocery Store Bagger!

Subject: Must Watch! The Grocery Store Bagger!

This is "Awesome"...

Please watch the following video clip -- it is

a story of Johnny, the grocery store bagger.


It is very short, but it will remind you of why

and how we make an impact in what we do.


You may even want to share it with others,

and I hope you will.

It's amazing how one young Down's Syndrome

bagger made such a wonderful impact on

those customers lucky enough to have Johnny

bag their groceries!

A truly amazing and wonderful story. Thanks, Laurie.
It's just further proof that being "human" has nothing to do with intelligence and everything to do with love.

Touched my heart.. and actually made me cry. I have 2 Autistic children. My som is more severe,, today my daughter has almost has no signs. Their ages are 17 and 11. Until 3 year ago I raised them either myself or with their mother. I had them both as a single parent about 6 years.

They are now with their mom because I started having seizures. They started 3 years ago. I haven't had one in 2 years, but they live with mom. I came back to Michigan so I could see them more. We now live 20 miles away.

I know the struggles. I went to every IEP, I dealt with every problem many years. I cry when I hear of someone (kid especially) who has a tougher start.

I could actually write a book on this (single male parent with 2 autistic kids), but I won't...

I'll just say... "Nice Post". Informative to most..

I couldn't dial-up. I'll take your word for the inspiration. I'm just happy to see you posting every once and awhile.

Publix is very good at hiring people with all sorts of handicaps--if that is the right term.

People need to realize that just because a person is handicapped does in no way lessen their value to society
