If I may, I'd like to first thank everyone sincerely for the accolades. For me, the chance to bring some much needed joy into BigAl's life was an incredible opportunity, and I never considered for a moment not to do it. However, I would like to divert the attention from myself, and let you all know about someone else in this situation, who's altruism has restored my faith in the generosity of man. During the 'Dis/Abled Clientele' thread started by the tenderhearted Erin xo, BigAl mentioned he only receives $372 a month for disability. A fellow compassionate Cerbite, from Winnipeg, offered and donated $300 towards BigAl's next visit from me. November 2nd, his 25th birthday. Now this member has requested to remain anonymous, but his sympathy and understanding towards BigAl's financial difficulties, and the kindness and generosity he has shown myself and BigAl, deserves to be noted. With this members permission, I informed BigAl of his early Birthday gift. As you can well imagine, it made BigAl's day, and then some. A former stranger has now become a dear friend, and they'll probably never meet. But this is the sort of selflessness that makes my eyes tear. Some of you have sent me PMs to personally congratulate me. I am touched by my fellow Cerbites' warmth and compassion, but BigAl is the real hero in this story, not me.

I have no idea how to start this particular post other than to simply say that you must read this recommendation and then take five minutes of your day to send Soleil a compliment! I for one, being a health care provider, know how cerebral palsy can affect someone's body. I believe she offered service where others may not have. So to Big Al it sounds as though you had a great time and made THE right decision on who to see. To Soleil you deserve a pat on the back if only for the four hour commute to and from the date. All the best to you both and Soleil if you are ever in my corner of the country dinner is on me!

Although not a mother myself, I am a daughter with a very loving mother. I've come to learn being one, is no easy task. So for all the sacrifices and compromises you made for your children, even if they never say it, I will on their behalf... THANK YOU MOM, FOR GIVING ME LIFE AND YOUR LOVE. I wish all you mothers a wonderful day, and if it doesn't turn out to be, keep the following in mind. Mother's Day is simply a 'Hallmark Holiday' and none of us should be forced to buy our mothers a card, call or visit on a particular day in May. Any day of the year is good for that. Bless you Cerb Moms.

I have been reading about big AL and Soleil events and posts over the last few days, and was brought to a new found level of admiration to both people involved.....actually now 3 people thanks to one silent generous person. I would like to see if we (CERB) could do something for at least 2 of the people involved. You see big AL put himself out there and opened his life and let us in to something very personal and incredibly brave in his life....... Soleil showed here true heart and her love of life by being part of big Al's life...... I feel both these people should be thanked for sharing this with us and by possibly opening some of our eyes and hearts. I would like to ask to see who would help support the idea of having 2 awards bestowed on 2 very special individuals without having to wait for multiple threads and weeks of voting Soeil.........Service Provider Award big Al........Valued Memebr Award All who agree please add your your comment
