Another battle fought, another battle won – I step softly in the hallway so I don’t disturb my sleeping son held closely in my folded arms. It is a father’s duty to protect his children, so – Where were YOU when mind-blindness struck my helpless son? Where were YOU during the struggle to teach him how to learn? Where were YOU when they tried to sweep my son under the red-tape rug? I was with him when autism stole his voice. I was with him through every tedious step to rewire his brain to learn to learn. I was with him to breach the bureaucratic walls. Where were YOU? Where would he be if I was never there? Who would fight for him? Who would carry him to bed? I was always there. But I already know your answers. I suppose YOU asked these questions long ago – YOU gave him to me YOU gave me to him. Another battle fought, another battle won. I step softly to his room and lay my sleeping son to bed, knowing – Someday, maybe not tomorrow, but someday, he will awaken. [This message has been edited by jbouder (08-23-2003 11:14 AM).] |
