This blog is a poem…(one of several poems) that was written last summer by a man, Max Osmond, from my home town in Springdale, Newfoundland. He knew a little about the story of Ti Luc and how I was told to throw him away as he would never walk, never talk, never learn anything etc, etc.
I have been rereading them and want to share this one with you.

TiLuc is now 10. He has CP but he is very active. He is bright, does his school work with his feet, using blackboard, ipad and laptop. He is funny and loves to play pranks, enjoys playing soccer, is a sensitive, caring and helpful boy, does well in school, loves Canada and is now a Canadian citizen. He is indeed a special child and I am blessed and proud to call him ‘son’.
