God Bless the Stallings and Thank You "Johnny" for being a Bama Fan! ROLL TIDE!

Well that always is a shame. I like Stallings a lot,too.I'm sure he and his wife were great to him.

Sad story. I also liked Stallings. RIP Johnny...

they treated him like a normal person. while the Stallings were in Tuscaloosa, "Johnny" had a job. everyday after work John Mark would come to practice and work with the equipment managers. the football equipment room at Alabama as of 2 years ago has John Mark's name on it.

Good...I think for anybody,parent or not, the thing to do is treat all people with disabilites as if they had none---to the extent that you can....and in an honest way.


I know I'm full of ca-ca....but I live near someone with Downs and talk to him a lot. One day he was talking about someone else who was bothering him and he broke in with.." you know ,I realize have Down Syndrome ,but that doesn't mean I'm stupid."

I hope I didn't show my shock...don't think so. For some idiotic reason I was really floored by watching him tell me he knows what he has and did it in a very clear way...he understood what he has.

I was the one that felt completely stupid.

good man morty for spending time with him.

Too kind....but it's the very least any of us could do. You are ,again, too kind---but I didn't type it for me. I had forgot about this passage of time and thought it sort of important to throw out.

Honest...I was that dumb. I do not even give one thought to someone like him realizing what they had. I can't tell you how dumbfounded I was when he said that.





Fucl<...he probably did notice it. I'll bet his thought was.." Normal people------what are ya gonna do??"

your new #1

Well it does beat thud and blech.

:rolleyes:

Don't forget my brilliant use of the too forgotten gerund.

I knew deep down I liked you for a reason.

I could not begin to fathom what it would be like being a parent of a child with D.S. People like John Mark are just up against it every day, from day one of their life. The Stalling's are an incredible family and I'm sure John Mark is enjoying life in heaven as we speak.

RIP

very sorry to hear that the stallings lost their son. parents are never supposed to bury their child.

glad i'm not the only one. feels as tho soccer is being shoved down our throats-thanx espn!
i'm ready for football. HOF game tomorrow, not that it really means anything. but at least i get to watch my 'skins, a rarity.

anyone watch the HOF inductions? i did since two of my favorite players got in, darrell green and art monk. ah, those were the days....

we watched but it was tough. i felt like i was in church.:rolleyes:

yeah, it got a bit preachy a few times.


but we at home have decided jesus is a baseball fan, not a football fan. all that saving going on and all!! :D
