  He   14   his address by lifting the audience up with these words, “Austin taught me how to love.”

  I have never thought of this day.  15  , no one had ever thought that Russ would make   16   as the star of the football team, and he had never been voted “most likely to succeed,” but he   17   to be a true “star” in his community.Russ became a man of strong character   18   his unselfish service to others.With so many impairments, Russ now sees and acts   19   with his heart.His words and deeds inspire everyone who knows him.It is Russ, our son, who has shown us what   20   is.
