My son was diagnosed with a disability shortly after birth. On the day of his final diagnosis, I remember sitting in the specialist's office at Children's Hospital feeling overwhelmed by the list of things that my son wouldn't be able to do like normal kids. That night I came home feeling really sad. I decided right then and there that we wouldn't focus on what he couldn't do, instead, we would focus on what he could do. So I wrote "Zakhar's Circus" for him. Since then, whenever he tells me "I can't," I tell him: "It's like Zakhar's Circus! Do what you can with what you've got!" Then somehow, someway, he digs down deep and tries his best. And with God's help...he does the impossible!
My one-eared wonder!
