Thank you for your apology and unlike the others I will accept it. As I posted earlier, my 2-year-old daughter has cerebral palsy--she can't walk or talk yet, but we're hoping. I, like so many of you, was deeply offended by the owner's actions. However, I'm old enough to understand (this is because of my daughter's tragic birth) that grudges and vindictiveness only harms me and the ones I love. This guys wants to apologize. In accepting it perhaps we show him some compassion which could make real and effective change in his life and his worldview. In rejecting him we only embitter him more. And given that his business is in our community we will be touched by that bitterness. Let's be adults in this unfortunate circumstance and forgive.
Apology.
