THEN AND NOW

BY JOCELYN CUTIE

Before spelling there was nothing. There sometimes was the slightest glimmer of light in whatever hell I inhabited.  The light was mainly emanated by my parents. But the world was mainly dark:  I had no way of telling them that I was in this body. I had no means of communication. But I was totally one of the lucky ones. Had Mom and Dad not taken me to see Judy, the nightmare would never have ended. I am getting so teary now, just thinking about then and now.

My Real Birthday

I always dreamed of having life be more like those of the non-disabled. I had the dream of having real friends, not just the kids in the class. I am Hallmark
moment-ing: I have to remind myself that I am awake frequently. Each time I come to M2H I get teary inside, because I have real friends finally. Can you imagine life with no friends? Can you imagine the most happy moments of your life alone? 


Happy moments are always with loved ones. Happiness is something shared. All my moments of happiness were in the company of someone I love. Maybe that explains why my happy birthday really was happy this year. All my friends were there. I am considering this year’s party to be my first real one. 

It really is the celebration of my new life. 

I am getting teary writing this. Call me crazy but…maybe I am really one now! One year now of being me. Hallmark moment again:  definitely naming the new tortoise I am getting for my birthday Judy.
