Some of you know that I have a handicapped child.  She had a stroke when she was born and has almost no use of the right side of her body.  She can walk, well...hobble along, and her right arm is a glorified paperweight.

anyway...to make this short so I can go to bed, Saturday we went to a special olympics meet...she took home first place in modified bowling.  My kid found a way to compete...so yeah....dad gets braggin rights.

That's fantastic.  It sounds like you have every right to be very proud of her. :)

Bragging rights indeed. Let her know that some random kid on the internet gives her huge props.  :D
