I was born disabled.A difficult birth, feet first, my head
46 in the birth canal(产道).
47 I was 3, the Hospital in Boston told my father I had cerebral palsy(脑瘫).A loss of oxygen to my brain had destroyed brain
48 to the right side of my body.But
49 son of my dad’s was going to be disabled.Every day my dad
50 me on the bedroom floor to
51 my right leg.His job was to craft(用手精心推拉) them straight, at any
52 .Back and forth, up and down, my dad pushed and pulled the muscles into
53 .But my dad’s help didn’t stop there.
54 my 13
th birthday, he threw me a special party.When everybody was gone, he brought me a set of boxing gloves.We put them on.My dad continued to
55 me mercilessly.Each time I
56 him to stop.He told me I was a man now and things would be extra
57 for me.That same year, I was the only kid in my neighborhood that wasn’t
58 for Little League.Everybody laughed at me.Two weeks
59 , Dad started the Shed Park Minor League.Dad coached the Yankees and
60 me a pitcher(棒球投手).In high school, I became a football star.The
61 of my dad’s love guaranteed I walked and more.In 1997, a brain doctor in San Jose told me I didn’t have cerebral palsy
62 .
My dad never knew the whole truth
63 he passed away years ago.But all that
64 is the bottom line.After all his
65 , on this Father’s Day, like every Father’s Day, I’m no longer disabled.
