Growing up, I was told my parents were special.My dad was born without a disability, but he got hit by a drunk driver when he was 12.After that, his body kept growing, but his mind just kind of stayed the same.Part of my mom's brain never fully developed, and doctors said she'd never be able to live on her own.You look thirsty.
Can I bring him some lemonade?Oh, sure, sweetie.
That's nice.Don't let her go.
She just wants to give him something to drink.You want to go on a date?
Sure.
I'm Sharon.
I'm Derek.
Where are you going?To ask my mom if I can go on a date.Get a room!
We're out looking for a job.I mean, we need to get our own place now.
Derek, no one needs to move out.
Oh, yes, we do.A man has to provide a home for his family.I can take care of my own family.
No one wanted to hire my dad.He made his own opportunities.When they actually commit to doing something, they do it.Dad said living in that van was the happiest we ever were.But he wanted us to have a real home.And eventually, we moved into one.
I remember being really happy in the house.
