Tomorrow is May 1, the day of the 2010 HEA fundraiser walk.
My family and I will be spending the morning with other people, and their friends and families, who have hypospadias or epispadias. What a special treat. It's like we finally get to close the door on the loneliness and isolation we've dealt with for the last 7 years and open another to what could be our new family. For all this time, I've wanted nothing more than my son to be able to understand that he's not the only one (well, second to the fact that I don't want him to go through this anymore).
He met one boy almost 2 weeks ago that lives 20 minutes away, he's only a year older than my son, and his mom will be one of my son's teachers next year. And, he also has epispadias and is incontinent. I know it's hard to say if they'll develop a lifelong friendship, but I sure hope they do. If I've learned anything in my life it's that everyone needs at least one person that truly understands.
What will tomorrow bring?
