Mikaail, My Special Needs Son

Mikaail was diagnosed as cerebral palsy child when he turned one year old. He had stroke at 7. Did stroke rob him of his vision and mobility? I used to think so but not anymore. Looking back I feel it was highly likely his vision was lost due to the mishandling by the so called medical professionals! A student of the Spastic Children Association in Pasir Ris. He attends classes daily, accompanied by Aunty Yaya. He has wonderful and supportive teachers and therapists.

Special Angel sang by Mikaail Ermin Tan

This morning, before we set off to the Make-A-Wish Foundation party, I asked Mikaail if he was going to sing a song. He gamely said yes and gave me 4 titles:

Special Angel
Hero
Banana Phone
Ring Ring

Told him to select only one and he said he wants to sing 4!

This song, Special Angel, has some sort of an emotional attachment to me I find that it is a very meaningful song. When we were at the Make-A-Wish Foundation party earlier this afternoon and with Mikaail singing this song, both daddy and mummy, suddenly overcome with certain unexplained emotion!
