19.Recently I came in contact with the true meaning of love. That would have been,Kane,a boy. Kane was the two-year-old son of Jolene,my new neighbor.
At a glance Kane was a sight. He'd been born with hard sticks for legs. And on that morning I witnessed the effect that Kane's physical shortcomings had on his family. But I also witnessed much more than that.
I saw an extraordinary family that embraced this special child. A family that wouldn't allow Kane to know he was different. Jolene had constructed a small cart just a few inches off the floor for his son to get around. Using his hands to move about,Kane moved the cart to"go to"any place just as everyone else was able to do. Kane worked that little cart like a master. Kane was a vital focus of the entire family. He was more than just a member of the family; he was the soul. This child was the driver,the motivator,and the founder of much of the interaction.
Much later in my life,I came to realize that God had sent this child to help some of us who just weren't getting what love was all about. Even with my limited capacity for understanding at the time that Kane was a highly developed spirit with great wisdom.
Kane demanded attention,but not because of his mobility challenges or other apparent shortcomings. In his mind,he had no challenges or shortcomings. The truth is that he received attention because he was alive and real and had so much to offer.
Kane was and still is a lot of warm and powerful energy sent to us all,so we might learn that love surpasses all things. Kane,a fragile yet lovely baby,was here to teach us all an important lesson. And at the age of two he did just that.
