I have to admit, I have put off talking about any possible “faults” Noah (our perfect child) might have.\u00c2\u00a0 No parent wants to open his\/her eyes to something that might later force our children to shun society and lead them to cave dwelling for eternity, but Kate and I have finally chosen to speak out.\u00c2\u00a0 We think people should no longer have prejudice against a person with a “skunk mark” in their hair.\u00c2\u00a0 Noah, the boy we have recently grown to love and adore has such a marking, and while some can lead productive lives with such “deformities”, we have yet to tell Noah about this white streak in his hair.<\/p>\n

Our close friend Mark Williams<\/a> has chosen to reach out to young Noah.\u00c2\u00a0 Mark knows first hand the trials and tribulations that can come from follicle discoloration.\u00c2\u00a0 He has grown to be a productive member of society.\u00c2\u00a0 He was even able to marry (his wife Sara is an amazing person) and later was able to reproduce a son, Eli, who is stunning.\u00c2\u00a0 Kate and I want to thank Mark for the support and advice in the coming days as Noah become aware of the adversity he will need to overcome.<\/p>\n

Bless you Mark, and God bless Noah.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
