I answered mail yesterday, and there were quite a few letters that touched me from children who have brothers or sisters with disabilities. Here's one to represent them all.

I was my sister's helper, mindreader, and caretaker basically. I helped calm her down (I was the only one who could), mind reader because when she was pointing and screaming, I would tell my mom what she wanted. When I read RULES it explained what I couldn't and told how I felt. --S, 10 years old
