I was at Shishu Bhavan, holding Kajol on my lap on the exercise mats. One of our boys, Bijoy, was laying on a diagonal at my feet. He had been looking at me, so I smiled at him and started to make faces, which made him smile. He doesn't have much control of his limbs, pretty severe cerebral palsy, but I held out my hand just to see if he would reach out to grab it. He managed to do so and I congratulated him on it and started to rub his hand. He then somehow managed enough control of his little thumb to start to rub my hand with it as well. Considering that it took so much of his mental energy to move his hand, the fact that he was able to work his little thumb to rub my hand was beautiful.
This is why I'm here.
