Strength Through Compassion For Bobby’s Polio Past
A mother reflects on her son Bobby who survived polio with a limp and endured a coach calling any boy who skips tryouts a sissy. She urges parents to remind him how far his body has come and to resist shaming his disability, highlighting memory of illness to foster resilience. The piece connects personal strength to forgiving others’ cruelty and ends noting a Broadway casting shift due to Margaret Sullavan’s death.
