I had a moment last night. I watched my brother graduate from high school. The one who people thought couldn't function. The one they say would need assistance for the rest of his life. The one the put in special ed, cause he is a special needs child.
I remember walking him to and from school. People asking if his was my son. He would always replied with "NO that is my sister" . Seeing that moment last night brought up memories for me. Looking back into where things have come for me, I see alot of myself in him. The loneliness, feeling weird about being who you are. The constant struggle to fit in and be free. Its never a right of wrong thing, its always a battle to do the right thing, say the right thing and look the right way. Nevertheless, does life seem to be so slow but yet so fast.
I know my brother will do great things in the world. Just because he is special, he has a special heart.
