This Is My Boy

This is my beautiful selfless boy. A boy who can barely speak, who still has a shuffle in his walk, and whose brain is still Enflamed. This is my boy who is confined to a hospital until he gets better.

This is my boy who heard a fellow patient crying in the hallway. A little girl with more problems than himself who was upset and wailing loudly.

This is my boy who left his room and knelt down on his still unsteady feet to ask this little girl what was wrong.

This is my boy who consoled her until

She stopped crying.

This is my boy who bought a floor of nurses and nurses aides to tears at his selflessness. 

Sick and with his own problems to face this is the man my son is. Stopping to care for someone in need when he has so little to offer.

This is my blessing. This is my boy.
