Stories from a Damaged Mind

By Andrew Reid

There are some events that change peoples perception of life and some events that are so monumental they are life-changing.

When my fourth daughter was diagnosed with RSS, and at the extreme end of the scale, professors and doctors shook their heads and predicted the worst scenario.

We experienced two and three-quarter years of hospital appointments and special-need clinic meetings with parents whose lives had been crippled, shattered, and changed forever by giving birth to a child with any one of ten thousand syndromes that exist.

These poems/stories are my interpretation of what I witnessed during that timea world I described as the event horizon to Hell.

The doctors in my daughters case tried to play God and were wrong! My daughter is now nineteen, training to be an actor, and is doing very well.
