    Instead of forcing people to conform to "normal" we should embrace the differences and unique gifts, talents, and abilities given.

    I'm solo. No parents, no siblings, no uncles/aunts.
    But, man, I couldn't imagine a better family.
    Such compassionate, giving, & well mannered young men.

    My grandmother who recently passed away was born with RP as well and grew up in Queens. She had 5 wonderful girls. She memorized the Monopoly game board and we would play for hours. This special brought back such vivid memories; it feels like this could have been my family. The world is really so small and we have so much in common. Thank you for this!
    Best wishes to the whole family 🤍

    Best family ever, so heartwarming, and so much love. Due to mental illness in my family, basically I’m alone. When my siblings and I were younger it was great, but as the teenage years approached so did the mental illness, progressively getting worse as the years pass. I love my family, but it’s just that I can’t have any close loving relationship with them anymore. This video showed me that the family and their love for each other still exists. Thanks for making my evening meaningful.
