Anthony's school had a school musical program last Thursday. Because of last year's incident, I was a bit hesitant, but still wanted to go see it. I asked if my mother-in-law would like to join me and Marcus, and she took a day off to come.
アントニーの学校のミュージカルに行って来ました。昨年の事があるのであまり期待しないで出かけましたが、今回はちゃんとアントニーは参加できてひと安心。
His class performed "Trashin' The Camp" from Disney's Tarzan. I was worried that the noises might bother him, so I was not surprised to see him coming to the stage with his headphone. I saw Jeff with him when they were waiting for their turn to come to the stage, and Jeff guided him as he entered. Jeff stayed on the side of the stage during the performance, and I saw him giving a high five to Anthony after the performance. Jeff is not assigned to Anthony's class, but he is the one who takes care of Anthony whenever he has a meltdown or behavior problem. Jeff knows Anthony, and handles him very well. He is big and strong, but so kind and gentle at heart. I'm so grateful for all he does for Anthony.
アントニーのクラスはディズニーの映画「ターザン」の中の歌をパフォーマンス。舞台に出てきた時はちょっといらいらした顔つきをしていたアントニーでしたが、先生のジェフ（アントニーが荒れる時にいつも担当してくれる、優しい先生）が舞台まで付き添ってくれました。ジェフは、パフォーマンスの間も舞台の横でアントニーを見守っていてくれて、アントニーのことを考えてくれる様子に感動でした。
I didn't film other class's performances. It was so emotional to see those special needs children perform. It makes me wonder why Heavenly Father created those children. I know they are here for a reason, and they bless other people's lives in so many ways. Still, I'm certain that so many tears are shed by their parents. Whenever I see them, I think about those parents and their overwhelming love towards them. It just breaks my heart.
毎年の事ですが、アントニーの学校の子供たちはさまざまな障害を抱えていているので、こういった発表会は見ていて辛いです。どうして神様は障害者をこの世に送るのでしょうね～
