The DeArments

This episode is about a family who is very tight and supportive of each other. Denise is the mother, Brandon is the father, and Jordan and Joe are the sons. I work with both Joe and Brandon, both great people, and stand-up guys. This episode occurred when I was on the treadmill at the gym with Joe, and he brought up his parent's participation and relationship with the Special Olympics. Jordan who is the older brother is very talented, artistic, and a very sweet guy. He was diagnosed with autism when he was three years old, and a lot of this episode is based around his upbringing, and how the family came together to provide a great life for Jordan, and for him to live out as much normalcy as possible. In the episode you get to see how supportive and loving his mother and father is, and their dedication to getting him into the Special Olympics, protecting him from any issues that would arise whether it's his schooling, medical issues, or anything else.
