Why isn’t this a reality show? Why aren’t people like this the ones we hang up on our walls? While this story will amaze you, I don’t think it’s about the kid.
Amazing Kid, Amazing Talent
This is NOT the story of an amazing kid with an amazing talent -though I assure you this is AMAZING. The thing is – his talent is in all of us. Our brain is so complex it’s only the disabled who really explore the parts you and I never have.
Think of the baseball pitcher who had one arm but figured out how to get his glove on his pitching hand before a line drive could make it to the mound.
Think of the dog that walks only on its front two feet because its back feet are missing.
Think of the autistic that can actually count the toothpicks that fell on the ground just by looking at them (like in Rain Man). This kid’s talent is not the story here.
The story is the mom.We live in a world where every Disney movie features one dead parent. We see Bart Simpson telling his mom to “get a life”. And we watch “The Nanny” encounter parents who just don’t get it.
What you rarely get to see is a mom that instills this kind of wonder, this kind of spirit, this kind of love in her child. What you don’t see are the tears, the crying nights, and the frustration the kid probably grew up with encountered by the limitless possibilities in the eyes of his mother.
Will someone stand-up and make an example of this mom? Politicians, movie stars, Oprah, please, show the world what the power of a positive, loving mom can do. And if you’re just a joe-schmoe like me. . . tell your friends to come watch this video.
Tell them “check out what’s possible when you give your kids all the love in the world’.
