I too missed the first thread. I am happy to hear he is doing so much better. Sounds like he is very lucky to have a friend like you. I don't understand people that hurt somebody just because they are different than they are! If we all went around doing that, we would be beating up everybody who crossed our paths. We are all different in some ways, and there is just no sense in these kind of hate crimes.

There are still so many ignorant people out there, it is just shocking to me!

I am glad he is doing better, and I am praying he will continue to do better.
