Brigid's First Christmas - 1991

Brigid

 

My Brigid.

My Beauty.

My Fwen.

That’s how she says “friend.”

And you are blessed if she calls you that.

My images of Brigid –

Her sunshining sliver of a smile

Calling it Up Syndrome

Putting her in boxes

Filled with styrofoam peanuts, jello, shredded newspaper

Different textures, baby. Notice!

Brigid growing.

Oh so slowly.

Tiny feet, fingers, ears.

Inside one of those tiny ears, something large.

A mass. Take it out.

Takes her hearing out with it.

“Watch my shows,” she declares.

Knows she should ask.

Knows she should say “please.”

“No wannie.”

If Brigid no wannie, it ain’t happening.

Oh, Downs kids are so happy and loving.

That’s what people say.

I say – take Brigid for a day.

Then come back and talk to me about stereotypes.

No one has taken me up on my offer. Ever.

Adorable. Precious. Unyielding. Fickle. Selfish. Generous. Stubborn.

More is inside her head than she can get out.

I worry about that. About her.

Not nearly as cognitively deprived as Kelsey.

Not nearly as cognitively blessed as Paul.

What awaits her?

I worry.

When I have time.

When I see Brigid, though, I give my time to her.

I have little choice.

She is so happy and loving. And stubborn and vocal.

My Brigid. Hers.
