About Justin

My son Justin was born with Cerebral Palsy. At first we were worried about how he would adjust to being different than those around him; but Justin's determination, warm smile, and zest for life have brought admiration and appreciation from everyone with whom he comes in contact. So many times in the middle of a rough day, I simply look at him and everything comes into perspective.

Justin's first love is baseball and for several years he has played with the Miracle League. When he is on the baseball field, he is a part of a team like all of his friends and is treated just like any other kid. Through this experience, he has developed a strong sense of self-esteem. He also has been able to discover his unique talents instead of focusing on his disabilities. He has realized that CP does not have to limit who he is and what he does. He loves to say, "So what if I have Cerebral Palsy? I can still do it!"

Justin is incredibly strong, but anyway I feel terrible sorry for him and sometimes I wish we both could die and forget all the pain ... I know that he'll never be a normal kid and I'm so scared about what's coming in the future....
