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 13th 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.
