Last week I was home, in Kerala to be with my angles. The new born is just doing fine and Maria is excited as well to see her new brother J Just that we have to watch her closely when she is playing with him coz she thinks the new born is just as fit as her and would start running any moment J
My sister and my nephew Maxwell is also home for their vacation. Maxwell is a kid with special needs. His brain was damaged during the birth and it’s a miracle that he is still around alive. Right now, he is undergoing Ayurvedic treatment and we could already see the improvements which allopathic medicines couldn’t do in years.
I just happened to visit one home for such kids – run by nuns where my sister was offering some help. We decided to give those little angels some treat one day and was to join them for lunch. This home also runs a settlement for the old. Just wonder how ever a son or daughter could abandon their parents and just go ahead with their life!!
The kids were mostly differently abled, somebody with down syndrome and some with permanent brain damage. But they were all happy – in their own ways. They enjoy every moment they live and are blessed to have people around them to support. This thought just came to my mind - How many more of such kids might be out there- not so lucky to have such facilities and what do we do for them?
There, while I was standing among them just happened to get a glimpse of my own reflection on a faded, murky glass pane. It just struck me how lucky me and my family is and realized how little we are doing for the needed. Their exteriors are same as mine, yet they are different… what a thin line!
Planning to visit another such facility – or say home of the angels next time I am in my native… to get the glimpse of me in the midst of the differently abled!
