Thank you for sharing this. My friend's daughter had a stroke at a very young age (between five and eight, it was before I met them) and as such was labelled as "not right" by many people. She had behavioral problems, did not think the same was as other people, and was a pretty quirky kid.
She's older now, in her teen-age years, and she's quickly becoming one of the coolest kids I'm proud to know. At age thirteen, whenever my girlfriend and I have watched her for the weekend so her single mother could take a trip by herself, she always makes our guest bed when many of our adult friends don't.
My brother, also, was similar in his ways to you. He's now a sergeant in the army, has been through a tour in Iraq and Afghanistan, and served with distinction in both, earning the respect of the men beneath him and many of his superior officers.
