Hi Amir,
The posting was to share with readers that there are hurdles and disabilities in every household. What seperates the ordinary from the extraordinary is how you face them and overcome them.
It was also meant for the reader to show more compassion to the families with disabled---and how do you do that---when you find one of your very own---who is living through this or has lived through this---you become more conscious and concerned---because it is hitting closer to home now.
Why do I say that---because I see a lots of compassion and emotion in this place---I have utmost respect for every member on this board and I know there are a lots of them who reciprocate in the same manner towards me.
So, if we can reach those, who, previously had no experience with anyone with disability, didnot have their lives altered because of the handicap, didnot have any compassion for people with handicap, thought that the disabled were a children of a different God, OR THE PARENTS WERE BEING PUNISHED FOR THEIR SINS---if we could just change this attitude of some of them, I would say that we have then achieved another milestone.
