Getting settled in our place, we had so many plans for our future together. Robert always wanted a truck load of kids. His mom and dad had 14 children. I’d say “I don’t think I want to have that many!”
The doctor said with great excitement, “You have a baby boy!” I was so happy. Not only would he be the first grandchild on both sides of the family, but the first grandson as well! How excited we both were. The doctor sat by my bedside.
Then, everything turned up-side-down. I was only nineteen years old. The doctors said that our son, Robert (Roby) Wayne Walker was a mongoloid, an idiot. When I heard this, I had no idea what it meant. I had never heard of this before. All the happiness that we had looked forward to had turned into fear – not knowing what to really expect. Not wanting to even see my Son. All the negative words gave me no hope for our Son.view less
