other people stopped and looked. And then they looked at the sign and they smiled. It was such an unexpected
moment of connectedness among strangers in the middle of Target in the middle of a week on an otherwise
ordinary day.”
She and Charlie walked past the sign three times before they went out of Target.
“It sounds like such a small thing, but for us it is a nod from the world that we are being supported,” she
wrote. “It’s just the beginning, I hope. I hope more disabilities and special needs pop up in clothing advertisementsand commercials and on mainstream TV. But for now, I am so grateful to Target for 83 .
