I think of my brother who, as a boy, was branded "special needs," and as a result, was put on a path that led to him being ostracized by many. It amazes me how one decision, one twist in the road can alter a person's life. Had he not been labeled as such, he might have ended up somewhere else. We must all be aware of how we treat the littlest among us.
"I am so lonely, but I know there is a plan. There must be. I can muscle through my life until the next move is clear. I miss you all so much. I am alone for most of the time. It's just me and the cats and dogs. Nobody comes up. Nobody stops by. It's not like it used to be -- so full of life. Perhaps I'll move down there with you. But not now. There is a plan, and I must follow it. I must follow it even though it's too quiet around here."
