Cameron is a special young man. God has given him to us for a reason--to teach us. Cameron teaches us unconditional love. He doesn't speak, but he communicates his love to all of us with his gentle manner and loving ways and his sweet smile and, the feel-it-all-over laughter. Cameron teaches us that we don't need words to tell others how we feel, and he teaches us that music is a universal language; the rhythm is the same.
Cameron needs special care. He depends on others to take care of his needs and in return he gives love and understanding. Cameron doesn't judge people. He accepts them. We have learned these life lessons from him.
Cameron won't ever be able to drive a car or play baseball. He won't run the Peachtree in Atlanta July 4, but he will continue to win our hearts over and over again as he melts us with his sweet smiles and his feel-it-all-over laughter. No, he won't register to vote in the 2012 elections. He won't even care who the candidates will be on the ballots. He might, however, be affected by Obamacare as a low priority medical care patient. I'm not sure where he would fit on that scale. I shutter to think about it.
Cameron will be eighteen years old. We were not sure how long we would have him with us when he was first born and weighed 1 pound and 13-l/2 ounces. The doctors could not assure us that Cameron would reach this age, but the Lord has blessed us with Cameron who will forever be our "Little Man."
It is me again, Lord, thanking you for a special grandson who teaches us life lessons.
A little Georgia Wisdom to grow by: Never overlook the life lessons taught from the most unusual sources. God uses all His children, even the ones with physical and mental limitations; they are the ones with the most to give.
You should post a story of Cameron and how much he loves to dance, even though he is wheelchair bound! Grandmother and Cameron make a lovely couple and she gently turns and rolls his wheelchair to the rhythm of the music he loves so much. What a site!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Carol. He does love to dance. One might not think that just because he has to be in a wheelchair that he can't dance.
ReplyDeleteCameron is such a sweet guy. I loved watching his face the night he was dancing in his wheel chair with his Nana. I was impressed with Nana's dancing too.
