While having my morning coffee in the store across our building, a girl with cerebral palsy came over to buy something. She had a cane to support her and two big plastic bags, containing empty PET bottles which I figured will be sold to a junk shop nearby. I do not understand what she was trying to buy but what caught my attention was the way she was trying to talk to the tindera. It was very kind; her sentences filled with po and opo. What caught my attention more was the fact that she was smiling and laughing as the trade went on.
Now I will not proceed by saying how blessed I am to be normal and complete. I will not use her as something to boost my ego. Rather, I will say how I wish I was like her in every way- that despite the difficulty and challenge she is facing she still has a way to be a blessing to others.
I wish I had that feeling of joy- that despite what life throws at me, I will still find the courage to say Thank you po, with a big smile on my face.
