“A Letter to My Son with Invisible Disabilities”
As I sit at my desk, wiping my tears and preparing myself for the workday, I am overwhelmed. I am filled with frustration and joy all at once.
You will understand this feeling some day when you are a daddy to your own little ones.We knew you were special right from the start.
You were the sweetest, liveliest little boy, and you were always aware of what was going on around you. You were babbling by five months, and everyone who met you fell in love.As you have gotten a little older, some of your spark has dimmed, but we can get it back, my boy!I want to be sure you know a few things as you grow up and begin making decisions for yourself.
There some things about you that are extra special. Doctors call them diagnoses, but they are no different from me having big legs or your daddy having feet that look like a Hobbit’s.
