text: My brother was born when I was 13. We had a very large age gap. You're probably wondering, what has this got to do with the title, well I'll tell you in just a little while. He was born with a rare genetic condition known as Albinism, he was born with no melanin in his skin, eyes and hair. That left his skin and hair white as snow and his eyes were blue. He was extremely sensitive to sunlight and his vision was not the best. However he was on track with his advantaged peers, he was a clever baby. I do not wish to go into too much detail about his condition as it can get confusing. I was confused as well, Albinism was not as common in us South Asians. I knew nothing about it before my brother was diagnosed with Albinism. But I would like to stress the rarity of his condition. There are many different types of Albinism, even if two parents have the genes there are lots of different variations of the condition. Then even if the two parents do have the same Albinism gene, which is rare in itself , there is only a 1/4 chance that the child will be born with Albinism, and if not there is a 1/2 chance the child will carry the gene. The gene can travel through a family for centuries. Seeing my white haired brother triggered a memory in my mother. She told my father all about a reoccurring dream she had in her childhood. She had a dream there was a man, white as snow. He wore a hat, but my mother remembers white tufts of hair peeking from under his hat. He even resembled my brother. In my mothers dream the man was her mothers(so my grandmothers) cousin. I don't know what the exact details of the dream were, but I just know these main points. She would dream this same man lots of times during her childhood and the pleasant arrival of my brother made her remember. But my Dad was star struck he said he used to have the exact same reoccurring dream. Even the detail about the man being his mothers cousin. It was really weird and a strange coincidence. I'm still confused about these dreams. My parents accept them as a message from God, about their child. Foreshadowing.
