Guest guest Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 I feel that there is no need to apologize. When we are speaking to someone we do not sit there and think the whole time am I being politicaly corret about every word you are saying. I am sure that when you were talking it was coming from a good place. So you remember that. Never feel ashamed for that. Think of it as if you said my kids instead of the kids are mine. You ment the same thing each time. Stop beating your self up. michiganimdsa wrote: I have to extend a huge apology to our families and children. I did my first interview today for IMDSA and Aniza and made a terrible mistake. In referring to our children I said " MDS kids " instead of kids with MDS. Please believe that is was never my intention to offend our families or our children. You guys are our first priority when promoting awareness and acceptance and I would never do anything that would harm that goal. Please accept my apology. I love all of our families and children. Know that if there is ever another opportuntiy to speak on our behalf, I have learned from my mistake and it will not happen again. Again I truly apologize for the mistake. --------------------------------- You rock. That's why Blockbuster's offering you one month of Blockbuster Total Access, No Cost.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 No big deal. I say " Downs kids " too when talking to other parents, even when referring to my adult " kid " but I wouldn't tear up my Advocate Card over that. You said so much that needed to be heard.
