I was born with two children both boys,but one
was different then the other,in a freak accident
he had ridden his new ATV over some old railro-
ad tracks thinking that they were not beng used
by trains now,being young and often time I have
too tell him whats right or wrong but this time it
was his fault,I told him always be careful using
the ATV but he didn't listen,most children don't .
Suddenly he started playing chicken with those
tracks still thinking there wouldn't be no train in
fact coming at all ,none . Unfortunately his ATV
suddenly stop on the railroad tracks running out
of gas,he got out and tried to push it,it was to late.
Suddenly a train was coming,fast and furious and
then he was run over the ATV destroy,but he was
crippled for life and had too use braces on his legs
to walk,so naturally other kids at school tease him
but his brother defend him ,though being a mother
I knew he didn't want anyone defending him at all .
But I secretly talk to his brother and told him just to
watch out for him when possible but any trouble that
would happen get a teacher or adult to help.
' I understand,' his brother said,' He has braces on his
legs but that doesn't mean they shold hold him down
or not let him do what he wants too do,he's tough as
anyone I ever saw .'
' You tell him that,I think to the braces are holding him
back a bit,he thinks just because he's handicap means
that he can't do what he wants too do,besides,'she told
her son,' I think he looks up to you.'
He nodded and went to his bedroom sat on the edge of
the bed with his brother who was just taking his braces
off his legs and was about too lay down . ' Mom wanted
me to talk to you, I'm suppose give you space at school
from now on,but you get into any trouble you go and tell
an adult,or a teacher too but I'll be there though if it gets
worse.' His brother hoped that was enough .
His brother got up and left,making sure he was in bed to
before turning and leaving ,closing the door behind him .
As he laid there the handicap boy cried,' How much worse
can it get for me ,' he closed his eyes falling asleep at least
while he slept he dreamt,and in his dreams he was the one
tough boy at school,but he knew it was only a dream .
How sad .
