Don't Let Your Mom To Carry You

12 July 2009

It was about 20 years ago or even longer.....

Almost every weekend, my mom took my brother and me to my maternal grandmother house by bus. Once we reached there, we got down the bus and walked to our grandmother house. My mom would carry me in her hand because I was still not able to walk. While my brother walked beside us.

We would walk through a fruit stall. When we was walking through there, the fruit seller would scold at me because I let my mom carried me. He would ask me to come down and walk by myself. He asked my mom do not pamper me since I was not longer a small child. He might not know or understand about my condition. Inside my heart, I told to myself that it is not I don't want to walk but I can't walk.

After a few times, I would not dare to look at him when we walked through his stall. Once we almost reached his stall, I would place my face down on my mom shoulder or turn my face to another side. We would walked through there quietly with the hope that he would not reliase our presence.

I'm very impressed with your effort to empower disabled person lives. You all always sacrifice your time and energy for our better future. You all always try your best to improve our lives. You all run here and there to look for fund in order to continue running associations for disabled person. You all always come forward and fight for our rights.

Some of you may have reached 70 or even 80 years old. However, you never let your age to stop you from continue improving our lives. You continue running up and down to look for new opportunities for us.

Sometime I feel shy to you all because I have not work hard enough to fight for my rights and sometime I even feel giving up in my life. However, I'm really admire you all especially those who are already in their 70s and 80s. Thanks you so much for your kindness support and efforts. I hope that more people will follow your footstep to empower disabled person lives.

Your Daughter Will Become Able If You Give Birth

When I was about 7 or 8 years old, my family and I stayed at my relative house. There is a playground which was near to our house.

My mom always took me to the playground for a walk and also to play. We saw and met many people at the playground. There were people asked my mom to give another birth. They told my mom that I will become an abled person if she got a new baby.

What an illogical belief they had??? Did they really had a good heart? When they walked away, I told my mom don't believe them. I don't believe them at all. I also afraid that my mom may not have time to take care me and my brother if she got another child. Thanks God that my mom never believe at them.
