I froze when my dad asked me to go to see Rhys and take him for ice cream. Actually, I love my 14-year-old younger brother dearly, but it has been over a year and a half since last time when we were in public with Rhys. My dad's idea made me feel anxious.
Rhys was seriously cognitively impaired (认知能力受损的) and his uncommon disease was 1 at birth. When I was young, my parents and I would 2 Rhys from his new long-term care home at the end of our busy weekends to spend some time with him, 3 at our home because of his illness.
After collecting Rhys and taking the short car trip, we arrived at the ice cream store. I supported Rhys in his chair while my dad placed our 4 and paid the bill.
Rhys loves to grab (抓) things. He grabbed a woman walking by. I said sorry to her immediately, full of 5 .
After getting our ice cream, we sat outside. At this point, I felt uncomfortable and just wanted to go home. Dad could tell that I was 6 . He silently understood and let me be.
But then I saw a father and a daughter walking along the square toward the ice cream store. The girl's movements seemed strangely familiar. I noticed she was walking strangely but she was obviously excited, behaving 7 to Rhys.
Watching those two, I was touched deeply. I realized I wasn't the only one in this situation: out in public with a family member with 8 needs. I smiled as I watched the father and daughter just enjoying their day and did not 9 what others thought. They acted just like every other "typical" family. It made me realize that I shouldn't let what others think about Rhys 10 our time together.
There is so much 11 with Rhys' uncommon disease. We aren't certain what difficulties, troubles and 12 he will face in the future. With each visit, I notice how much we have both changed, whether it's his little mustache(小胡子) 13 or my growing independence as I move onto university. Rhys will always be my brother. We are a family. There is no 14 in that.
