Shawn McDaniel is apparently retarded. He can't speak, he can't walk, he can't even blink his eyes when he wants to. He can't eat without help and he has to be bathed and dressed by someone else every day. Shawn has Cerebral palsy.Shawn has seizures as well. It is incredibly hard for his dad to watch this to the point that he finally leaves the family. Several years go by and Dad comes back to visit only a few times. However, this time he visits it seems he has something in mind to help Shawn to stop suffering so much.
An incredibly touching and realistic story. Great for someone who lives with a handicapped sibling or child.
Warnings: Some language and he mentions looking down the front of women's shirts.
