I like to think Parker is who he is today because of me, his mother. But the truth is, I am who I am today because of him. He has taught me that love is truly unconditional and a hug and a smile will always make the worst day somewhat better. He has taught me to fight for what I believe in and to support others to do the same.

Everybody loves Parker. He's inspiring. I love being his mom.

They've learned a lot from him. He has a talent for bringing out the best in people.
