One day, so many years ago when my son was still very little, we had an appointment @ the doctor's office. When we arried there was an older woman in the waiting room. As I sat there wondering why she was alone she spoke to me, as women often do. She began by telling me what a beautiful child I had. Instead of smiling, as mothers often do, I hung my head and sadly said, "He will never be like other children, he will never do the things that other children do, he is handicap." The older woman sensed my despair, and my fears. She knew I felt my child was not worthy of such compliments, but she did not turn away.....as people often did. Instead, she held my hand and softly said,
"Now, Now my dear, I have known a little boy just like yours & a son of mine. He suffered a terrible accident that left him severely handicap.....But the truth my dear, I have never known any creature no matter how small their mind, that didn't respond to Love." Then she laid her hand on my baby and smiled so sweetly & lovingly @ him.
Soon the nurse called our name and we went to see the doctor forgetting the older woman in the waiting room. But as days passed I kept remembering her kind touch and her words echoed in my thoughts. Something inside my heart had changed. I began to enjoy holding my baby and hugging him so often as mothers are supposed to do. Then something inside my baby began to change...he became so content & full of Joy. I realizd his heart possessed feelings far beyond that of his intelligence. From him I learned a rare and special kind of love that was totally unselfish & unconditional. His simple joy at my affection caused me to become patient & longsuffering. In time I began to enjoy every moment with him. It was my baby who had accepted me exactly how I was while he waited patiently for me to learn to love him. I vowed never to leave him sick or lonely. This little boy, my son, whom I had once refused to look at and hold began to appear to have the most beautiful angelic face and his smile was nothing short of a miracle.
I often think of the older woman in the waiting room and her words that changed our lives. She was an Angel, who knew the face of Love and all I had to do was listen and look with my heart.
This is a true story about my son Anthony who passed away three years ago today. He was the most beautiful thing that ever happened to me and I am comforted knowing he is in a better place now & will be great in Heaven. He truly taught me a special kind of love I feel so fortunate to feel. I love Celine Dion's song "A New Day Has Come" because she also waited for that miracle all in the eyes of a boy. I miss you today my sweet Anthony, and I will nevers stop wanting to think about you always son. Love your Mama
