and R is one of them.
He is a perfect stranger to my family. We were enjoying a fuss free evening at the Marina Barrage and R was nearby taking some shots. From the look of it, we can tell that photography is R’s hobby.
As R came near to Jeff, I think he couldn’t resist taking a few shots of him. He must have found Jeff to be playing water in his diaper cute (mummy dropped his trunks while packing the play bag). He took many shots of Jeff and later Zoe. He sent us these photos.
Why isn’t Zane in the photos ? He is !! In the background with mummy in one of the pictures, he was too busy having his dinner. And he is the most difficult of the 3 to snap as he is sensitive to people pointing cameras at him. It is getting better recent years. When he was younger, each time when it was class photo shooting day, he would wail the school down. His photo was always superimposed into the group photo.
Here are the shots taken by R. Enjoy ! Post these here as I know some of you do not use facebook.

My favourite shot. He turned away just before the water jetted out. He missed the moment he was waiting for.

Fathers.
Fathers to special needs children.
I know of this father from my son’s previous centre who personally ferries the son to and fro the classes and even sits in for most of the sessions. This is one father who spends time with his special son, if he can, every day.
He is a writer and has written many books. He graciously gave Zoe one book last year and missy has been benefitting much from his book.
I am inspired.
Today, I know that it was not by chance that I took this particular taxi driver’s cab. My destination was a mere 4 bucks. And when he drove me into Zane’s school, he asked what school is that.
My reply?
A special school. Full-stop.
“You mean a special school as in the special kids are with autism?”
Yes.
“You mean the whole school is full of autistic children?”
Yes. Till age 18.
Long pause. He turned around and looked at me and said this ….
“I have an autistic son too. My wife and I only dare to have one. One already so difficult to look after. My wife quitted her job to look after our son. She is going crazy facing him day in day out. He is 15 and very hard to bring out now. So, whole day, he stays at home.”
I didn’t know how to reply.
How to ?
Another good dad who slogs for his special child.
In Zane’s school, there are a few dads who are the ones who ferry their special children instead of their mothers or maids. The thing about men is that, they do not huddle together and chat like the women do. They are usually standing afar, each in their corners, waiting. I wonder how do fathers cope with this life with autism. These are the fathers who stick it out with their wives and/ or kids. I know of a few who flew kites on their spouses and children and took flight. Idiotic heartless men. Your desserts will catch up with you definitely. Even if one day you are going to die of sexual diseases, NO ONE will pity you and you will not have any child to pay you respects at your own funerals. Scums.
