I decided to post the following video for three reasons:
1) Cody was born without eyes.
2) I am a mother.
3) A great deal of my readers are parents of special needs children.
After watching the clip, please leave a comment. I would appreciate hearing your thoughts.
Wow. I'm not sure where to start with my comments; that brought up a lot of thoughts and emotion. At first, I just thought of a Sesame Street sketch:

I also thought that the son seemed to have a real lack of attachment. For more about attachment disorder, look at www.nancythomasparenting.com
Finally, I thought of the love that moms have for their children. Love makes sacrifice possible.
Thanks for sharing!
I have to tell you I was gripped the whole time. But I couldn't figure out the man's intense anger/embarrassment of his mother. I don't understand that....can you help me here?
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah, the mother's love is endless.
Lizbeth- I can't help you because I can't comprehend it either.
ReplyDeleteKristi- You're right. Love makes sacrifice possible and mothers sacrifice more for their children (families) than they may ever know.
That is a very moving video. Thanks for sharing it. I feel sad for that son. What an angry life he had. The mother was stronger than he could ever be.
