What a great guy.

I like the Mom, too. It sounds like she's been honest with her kid about his diagnosis, and I like how she recognizes flapping can be from excitement instead of seeing it as random.

Oh that was so sweet it made me tear up!

What a nice Santa! The ones at my mall are always grumpy drunks!
