Day 2008: My Parents, The Real Stars of my Story

The love of parents is the truest love of all  – that’s what I keep realizing.

 

It’s 12 : 17 PM on day 2008 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read 1 Peter 1,  learn one new thing –Bones, stop growing after puberty and muscle and fat cells also stop dividing. But cartilage – that’s the plastic-like stuff in ears and noses – cartilage continues to grow until the day you die. Not only does cartilage grow, but the earlobes elongate from gravity.–have breakfast and work on my 25 Smiles Campaign – raised $3 312 only $2 938 more to raise by 10 Jan 2017  (SO SO SO GRATEFUL to everyone who has supported this campaign so far :)  ).

 

This morning I was thinking how sad it was that most people will never get to meet my parents, the real stars of my story, people see what I do but nobody sees my father who wakes me up every morning, puts me in my wheelchair and gives me water or my mother who sometimes has to take leave from work to stay with me because our housekeeper didn’t show up for work…nobody sees that but really behind this girl who aspires to be great are two extraordinary parents who love all their children with everything they have I hope one day I will love humanity the way my parents love me and my siblings. To mommy and daddy (dad I know you will see this because you’re always stalking me on Facebook LOL and for once I’m grateful because it will spare me the embarrassment of having to send you a link to this post): It’s not anybody’s birthday or anniversary but I just wanted you both to know that I appreciate the things you do for all three of us every day because of the two of you I know that love is a verb.
