Semi Club Foot

 

These are the casts that were removed from my legs when I was four. I had to use a wheel chair, be put in the bath tub and into my bed at night. He-Man came to visit me in the hospital and gave me the best apple I have ever eaten. He told me to save it until I was feeling bad and that it would make me feel better. It did.

I think my dad was in rehab, I don't remember him around. My mom had to work so my grandmother spent a lot of time with me.

There was a kid in kindergarten that made fun of me, his name was Jason Brown. He was the fastest kid. I remember telling my grandmother that I was going to "beat Jason Brown" when I got my casts taken off.

I did.

These memories, this artifact has been the source of a certain deepness in my life. It is time to give them the seat of honor as we feast together, as we commune at the table of Uruk.
