Garth

This is Garth. He is my baby brother. He is mentally retarded, and I mean that literally, not in a big sister sort of way, but in a metical way. But he has been such a blessing to us, and we love him. Here is Garth dressed up for a school dance through the buddy club. He is going as Zorro.

Here is Garth hugging Karla. Karla and him have a special relationship. They are good buddies. Quite often, you will find Garth carrying Karla around some place, either on his shoulders or just in his arms. At first I just thought it was because she was a kid, but he doesn't have this relationship with Kylee or his nephews. When we go to long without seeing Garth (about a week and a half) Karla will say, "We need to go to Garth's school and pick him up." On occassion she crys when we have to go home. And she is so excited to see Garth, even if we just saw him yesterday! And usually, Garth feels the same way.
