"Mom ran her fingers through my sweaty hair and looked deep into my eyes. "Sean," she asked quietly, "is this going to be a gift or a burden?" A gift? A Gift? Gifts come on your birthday. You open them up and say "Woo hoo!" Was she crazy? But before I could say anything, something magical happened. Something I can't explain with science. My calling and purpose in life came and found me."
