A Regular Blog
Tuesday, January 17, 2012 at 10:38AM A Regular Blog
My name is Timothy Peterson. I live with my wife Erin and my two great kids Victoria and Ann at 104 Acorn Street. A regular house, on a regular street, in a regular neighborhood. Ann attends Beternard Elementary, home of the Bears. She is assigned to Ms. Wise’s class. Ann loves American Girl, brown-skinned people (doubly so if they have an afro or dreads), Arthur, Pizza and Apple Juice. She dislikes Guacamole, ex-boyfriends, zombies, vultures and anything that flies and/or stings.
Pay us no attention, we are completely normal, regular and mainstreamed. There is nothing to see here. Move along back to your homes and places of business. We got this. Save your worry, pity and efforts for those truly in need these days, like Investment Bankers.
Often times persons who have suffered through a devastating event will choose to bury the details and memory deep inside themselves. They create a parallel story or alternate existence to allow them to cope or make sense of what happened to them. My daughter Maggie was born nero-typical and acquired autism through her vaccinations (not possible say the experts, no studies show a link, bovine fertilizer says I). Maggie is mostly recovered and lacks only a few social challenges (persons cannot recover from autism, no known cause, no known cure. See above for response). That being said she is still coming to grips with what happened to her and needs much love and support to finally put it behind her. Until that day comes I will continue to fight for her, nurture her to grow and love Margaret, Ann, Lizzy, Sara, Penelope, Scarbrough-Peterson with all my might.
Thanks for reading, peace.
