Epilepsy wont kill me - its dashed some dreams I had and that really hurt. For 6 months after my son was born I watched him like a hawk. He had a 25% chance of having epilepsy too. I knew just what to look for and I was so happy when I realized my boy wouldn't ever have to deal with the restrictive childhood I did. He's done well with the divorce and I'm building the little man that I was never allowed to be. I won punt pass & kick, played QB when until I was in High school (I actually won the job over a returning senior to be QB) but my Doctor sent them a letter saying they were responsible if I got injured. It was all I ever wanted to do - I was lving my dream. I was still awarded my letter because of my play but it wasn't the same. I lettered in 4 sports and played and won two state championships n baseball. I played hoops but we lost in the final game to a milwaukee team at the state tournament. But none of that filled the void. I was built to play QB and my dreams were crushed. Now my son is showing the arm, intellect and poise to play QB, He's the starter and its all on him. He wanted to be like dad but he's showing signs of being better than I was. My job is to make him a man and help him reach his goals even if that means he wants to be a ballet dancer. Being a father is the hardest job you'll ever love. He's my pride and joy and I'll help him do anything he wants to do as long as he gives it his best effort. I told him there's nothing in life worth doing unless you try to be the best. My words resonate with him - he still thinks I'm God
