I'm writing this story for me; it's loosely based on personal experiences. Another reason I am writing this is because I want to take Booth and Brennan in a new direction, I love the happy roses and lollipops B&B family stories, but this time I wanted to not have them be happy off the bat I wanted them to struggle a bit.

On to the personal stuff, when I was born, they told my parents I had developmental delays, but I'd probably be able to lead as normal life as possible. This wasn't the case when I was about a year old they changed the diagnosis to moderate Cerebral Palsy. What this means is I cannot walk on my own and I cannot see that well. That isn't what the story is about, my junior year I helped out in the special education classroom. One of the kids had developmental delays and wouldn't interact or speak that much until I came in. Half way through my senior year I had enough credits to graduate after Christmas break. Doing that was hard just because I didn't know how to tell the student that I'd bonded with that I was going to be leaving. I told the teacher that I would be going before we left for the holidays and when got back she had all the kids sign a card for me and had the student I bonded with give it to me. I found the card the other day and thought about the kid and all the things we worked on, and of course my brain went to how I can make this into a fic lol! The way things are done in the fic won't be how they happened with the kid and the disabilities will be a tad different

My intention is not to offend anyone or make light of the disabilities, if that is what happens I am sorry. If people think I shouldn't write this or at any point that I should stop tell me and I'll do it.
