They taught my brothers and sisters , 9 of us, to clean , ( spotless clean ). All of us had respect for our parents, my mom is an angel , my dad had a big heart but didn't show his soft side very much, but I saw it a lot. They always said to eat all your food, and to get along with everyone. I'm a cleaning lady and I love my job, and I'm great at it, and I'm still the sweet person they taught me to be, thanks mom and dad . 🤗💕💕

I’ve often wondered if things like this would get easier for him as he gets older. Thanks for sharing. My son is also quite terrified of babies and toddlers because he associates them with crying. If he sees someone crying, he says himself that it starts a “chain reaction” and he just can’t help but cry himself. He gets so distressed when it happens.

    Came across this and told myself “nah this might be funny but no way it makes me cry” …. Sitting here now 2 minutes in and crying, absolutely inviting him to do a wedding speech for me whenever that day comes 😂😂. Awesome stuff! His brother almost broke down completely. To hear the woman you are marrying has that effect on your family is truly special!

    it must mean so much to the older brother knowing how scared that kid is of public speaking, but he did it for him anyway and made a really meaningful and loving speech.

    Bless you. Well done. Any speech is hard for most people but you overcame any fears to do what am I sure was a great speech to those you love. Stay well and stay safe. And thank you for sharing your story.

    A Milestone for you and your Beloved, Oliver! 🙌 I have some Aspie Characteristics and I was "forced" by the circumstances in life to go out of "my shell". It's been an up-and-down journey and I wish others wouldn't have to suffer for being belittled. Keep being Strong & remain United with Vulnerable People! Take it as "kind of a Mission". Be Resourceful to others. Be the Change you want to see made. Just in case if you'd like to listen/watch "Oldies" Music Vid's (especially from 80's), I created some time ago a PlayList: Music (assorted) Keep Safe (May 12 2023, Argentina) #LetsSupportVictimsofBullying #LetsNotNaturalizeBullying
