the essay.
IMAGINE
I heard him crying in his room
again last night. How could peo
ple so ignorantly assume that he
has no feelings? I see children
stare at him, and adults avert their
sympathetic glance. Do they
think he doesn’t notice? Who is
the mentally retarded one I often
have to wonder. I heard him cry
ing and I went up to comfort him,
to tell him it would be all right.
I told him what I always tell him,
soon everyoe would learn how to
treat people like him. I instantly
get a wrenching feeling in the pit
of my stomach each time this hap
pens. This child could have been
normal if I hadn’t messed up.
This is all my fault. This is Fetal
Alcohol Syndrome.
FAS is a mental disorder caus
ed by the use of alcohol during
pregnancy. In the first 5 weeks of
my pregnancy I often had three
to four drinks a day, I didn’t even
realize I was pregnant. As soon
as I found out, I quit immediate
ly. It was too late. I had always
dreamed of having a child. I
knew everything I would teach
him. I was always going to raise
him as I was raised, saying he
sea and shore.
Lottery funds
Lottery d o e s n 't
could be anything he wanted, all
he had to do was work for it. I
had heard this cliche ever since
I first grasped a crayon with my
pudgy three year old fingers. I
have always lived by those
words, and been awed by the con
cept of all the possibilities I have
in store for my life. My perfect
motherly image was shattered
when I learned my beloved baby
had Fetal Alcohol Syndrome.
When looked at from an ignorant
view point, society is so savage
and unfeeling that it is almost in
comprehensible. To feel less love
for a person who is mentally
disabled is without reason. I see
my son suffer every day because
he is not treated as an equal. It
is solely because of a mental
disorder that he has absolutely no
control over. He is the helpless
and innocent one.
Imagine being a person who
could not concentrate, who only
had a brief memory, and who
could not learn from mistakes.
Imagine being unable to strive for
that ultimate dream because you
are not physically or mentally
capable. Then imagine how it
must feel to have a child like this,
and the realization that all of it
could have been avoided.
Imagine.
Now help me to spread the
word, so future mothers will be
aware of what can happen, and
know how to avoid it. So that no
one else in the world ever had to
do anything more than imagine.
Del and Linda LaRue request the pleasure
of your company at the marriage of their
daughter
