I used your video "Joni" many moons ago to the different year groups. I always had a captive audience.The classroom became very quiet, and I never had to say a word while the video played for part of the class. I believe the students took great inspiration from your courage and your faith, and your eventual acceptance as the story came to a conclusion. I often think of you, and bought your book "A step further."My daughter read it , and she wondered why this had to happen to someone so good. I invited people with special needs to the school and our students were given the oppertunity to get to know our guests and these times were the best of times as our students learned so much about the beauty of life - all life and how special this is and how sacred. I would just love to meet you in person some day. Any chance of you coming to Ireland? We will pray for each other.

We are fortunate, but the thing about Joni is that she's so focused on what her mission is on the earth that she's not thinking about what she can't do, but what she IS doing. ;) True!
