Every so often there is a Post Secret card that really touches me.
this one got me this week. When I was a kid, I had a friend who had the worst stutter I have ever heard. Nothing has compared to it since I knew him, and I was fiercely protective over him. Interestingly enough, he is brilliant – last I checked in, he was writing a calculus book. For fun.
We haven’t been in contact for many years, and he moved away when we were in middle school, but I hope he knew that no matter what, when he got stuck on a word - I still heard him.
And I still really hate when people make fun of stutters.
