Farrell’s Son Has Special Needs
Irish actor Colin Farrell has spoken for the first time about the difficulties he faces raising a son with special needs. The heartthrob says his 4-year-old son James suffers from a rare form of cerebral palsy known as Angelman Syndrome, which affects his speech and motor skills. But the star is determined to make sure his son grows up happy and healthy.
He says, “I think it’s like any parent. What I want to do for my son is just to make sure that he has the opportunity to reach his individual potential. And that he’s happy as can be. “And I’ll do whatever I can do, stay in his way, get out of his way, to see that that’s realized. That’s what it’s all about.”
Here’s a blog worth noting … http://terriblepalsy.wordpress.com/

I like to hear about parents who are truly helping their special needs children to succeed. It takes great strength and character to go the extra mile, and take the extra time, to help the children.
Yes it does, singlemom, but as you know, if we don’t spend our energies in the noble endeavor of raising our children, we will regret it.
