A Beautiful Day for a Barbecue

outdoors. This sight was quite joyous for Scott to watch, for he had a great admiration of children and they seemed to take to Scott quite fondly too. Suddenly, Scott was overwhelmed with a familiar feeling of deep sorrow and loneliness. He backed away from the window wearing a slight frown on his face. Scott has many friends but he still feels lonely. All his friends found love and are involved in serious relationships where some married and raised families. Scott longs to find someone who will love him unconditionally. Of course he is thankful of having many close friends but at times he finds himself to be envious of them. He desperately wants to have the same life they have. Scott Smith is a successful businessman, owns a lovely home and has many close friends. He is quite handsome with his thick wavy blonde hair and piercing blue eyes and he just turned thirty years old three days ago. Unfortunately, Scott Smith is physically challenged, he has a condition called Spina Bifida. His spinal cord was not fully formed at birth, leaving him partially paralyzed and permanently confined to a wheelchair. Scott’s condition does not prevent him from leading a normal life. He could accomplish almost anything. Yes, he does drive a custom made van and he socializes frequently with his close friends, attending nightclubs, restaurants and social gatherings. Yet when Scott goes out on the town with his friends, he feels that everyone, especially women, look at the chair and do not bother to take notice of the person in the chair.

It is now July of 2003; the sun still shines through the windows of the ranch style home, illuminating it with a warm and cheery brightness. Oh yes, that insatiable summer breeze is still bringing in wonderful scents of flowers and freshly cut grass. The sounds of Jason, Jessica and little Rebecca playing outside are quite delightful! “It truly is a beautiful day to have a barbecue”, Scott smith says to his wife Ruth. Ruth replies, “yes indeed my love, it truly is a beautiful Saturday afternoon.”

Two months ago, in the middle of May 2000, Scott had no plans for the weekend and there was nothing good to watch on television. It had been a while since he chatted online so he decided to sign on to the Internet and entered the “30’s Singles” chat room. He answered to a woman who was asking if there were any males in the room who lived near Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Scott replied and told her that his parents lived there and he was from Providence, Rhode Island. They started chatting and he found out her name was Ruth; she had three children and was going through a brutal divorce. The more they chatted, the more they seemed to have in common. They shared the same interests in films, books, music, children and animals. She even had pet rats, so did Scott by the way. They continued chatting for hours almost every night since then becoming closer and closer. Scott began to confide in Ruth and told her about his condition. She seemed different from everyone else he spoke to before; she was genuinely interested in Scott and began asking him many questions concerning his condition. The following evening Scott and Ruth chatted for hours and hours, they didn’t realize how late it was. Scott finally told Ruth he had to go and asked if he could talk to her
