Love Without Limitations

• Para. 1 My brother, Jimmy, did not get enough
  oxygen during a difficult delivery, leaving him
  with brain damage, and two years later I was
  born. Since then, my life revolved around my
  brothers. Accompanying my growing up was always
  go out and play and take your brother with you.
  I couldnt go anywhere without him, so I urged
  the neighborhood kids to come to my house for
  some out-of-control kid-centered fun.

How did Jimmy get his brain damaged?
25

• Para. 2 My mother taught Jimmy practical things
  like how to brush his teeth or put on a belt. My
  father, a saint, simply held the house together
  with his patience and understanding. I was in
  charge outside where I administered justice by
  tracking down the parents of the kids who picked
  on my brother, and telling on them.

Evaluation
32

• Para. 4 So when my father died of a heart attack
  in 1991, Jimmy was a wreck, beneath his careful
  disguise. He was simply in disbelief. Usually
  very agreeable, he now quit speaking altogether
  and no amount of words could penetrate the vacant
  expression he wore on his face. I hired
  someone to live with him and drive him to work,
  but no matter how much I tried to make things
  stay the same, even Jimmy grasped that the world
  hed known was gone. One day I asked, You miss
  Dad, dont you? His lips quivered and then he
  asked, What do you think, Margaret? He was my
  best friend. Our tears began to flow.

33

• Para. 5 My mother died of lung cancer six months
  later and I alone was left to look after Jimmy.
• Para. 6 He didnt adjust to going to work without
  my father right away, so he came and lived with
  me in New York City for a while. He went wherever
  I went and seemed to adjust pretty well. Still,
  Jimmy longed to live in my parents house and
  work at his old job and I pledged to help him
  return. Eventually, I was able to work it out. He
  has lived there for 11 years now with many
  different caretakers and blossomed on his own. He
  has become essential to the neighborhood. When
  you have any mail to be picked up or your dog
  needs walking, he is your man.

34

• Para. 7 My mother was right, of course It was
  possible to have a home with room for both his
  limitations and my ambitions. In fact, caring for
  someone who loves as deeply and appreciates my
  efforts as much as Jimmy does has enriched my
  life more than anything else ever could have.

• Para. 8 This hit home a few days after the
  September 11th disaster on Jimmys 57th birthday.
  I had a party for him in my home in New York, but
  none of our family could join us because travel
  was difficult and they were still reckoning with
  the sheer terror the disaster had brought. I
  called on my faithful friends to help make it a
  merry and festive occasion, ignoring the fact
  that most of them were emotionally drained and
  exhausted. Instead of the customary No gifts,
  please, I shouted, Gifts! Please!

40
Para. 9 My friendspeople Jimmy had come to know
over the years brought the ideal presents
country music CDs, a sweatshirt, one

• leather belt with J-I-M-M-Y on it, a knitted
  wool hat and a cowboy costume. The evening led up
  to the gifts and then the chocolate cake from his
  favorite bakery, and of course the ceremony
  wasnt complete without the singing.

41

• Para. 10 A thousand times Jimmy asked, Is it
  time for the cake yet? After dinner and the
  gifts Jimmy could no longer be restrained. He
  anxiously waited for the candles to be lit and
  then blew them out with one long breath as we all
  sang Happy Birthday. Jimmy wasnt satisfied
  with our effort, though. He jumped up on the
  chair and stood erect pointing both index fingers
  into the air to conduct us and yelled, Onemore
  time! We sang with all of the energy left in our
  souls and when we were finished he put both his
  thumbs up and shouted, That was super!

42

• Para. 11 We had wanted to let him know that no
  matter how difficult things got in the world,
  there would always be people who cared about him.
  We ended up reminding ourselves instead. For
  Jimmy, the love with which we sang was a welcome
  bonus, but mostly he had just wanted to see
  everyone else happy again.

Main Idea of Part 4

• The constant love and support of our
  friends and family would get us through whatever
  life might present.
• Question
• Can you find an example in your life to
  illustrate the above statement?

49

• Para. 12 Just as my fathers death had changed
  Jimmys world overnight, September 11th changed
  our lives the world wed known was gone. But, as
  we sang for Jimmy and held each other tight
  afterward praying for peace around the world, we
  were reminded that the constant love and support
  of our friends and family would get us through
  whatever life might present. The simplicity with
  which Jimmy had reconciled everything for us
  should not have been surprising. There had never
  been any limitations to what Jimmys love could
  accomplish.
