My question is:
Had you taken the same
At a fundraising dinner for the benefit for pupils with learning difficulties
Did the father of a child delivered a speech that no one present will soon forget.
Having praised the school and its employees in the highest terms, he asked the following question:
"If no disturbing external influences brought to bear, gets all that tackles the nature of perfection. But my son Shay can not learn things as other children. He is not able to understand things as other children.
Where's the natural order of things in my son? "
The audience was completely silent in the face of the question.
The father continued:
"In my opinion, is when a child like Shay, physically and mentally handicapped for that Weld is, there arises the possibility of true human nature into action, and it is only because . how people treat that child "
Then he told the following story: Shay and I were
times come at a park by by some boys Shay knew were playing baseball. Shay asked, "Do you let me play the "I knew
that most of the boys did not want someone like Shay have in their team, but as a father I was following clear:
play If my son was allowed, then it would type of belonging, according to which he so much longed for, and the confidence to be accepted despite his disability by others.
So I went to one of the boys on the field and asked, without expecting too much, if Shay could play. The boy looked around for guidance and said, "We have already lost six laps and the game is just the eighth inning. I do believe that he play can. We will try him in the ninth inning then come to the club to leave. "
Shay struggled over to the bench after the team and retired with a big smile on a jersey of the team. I watched with tears in his eyes and warmth to the heart.
saw the boys and I's joy at his son being accepted.
At the end of the eighth inning, Shay's team had won a few rounds, but was still behind by three. Located in the ninth inning, Shay put on a glove and played in the right field.
Even though no hits came his way, he was thrilled that he was allowed to be there up and grinned ear to ear as I waved to him from the stands.
At the end of the ninth inning Shays team got one point. In the current situation was the next run, a potential Siegesrun, and Shay came next in the series.
Would they let Shay bat at this moment and give away their chance to win the game at risk?
Surprisingly, Shay was the bat. Everyone knew that a hit was all but impossible because Shay did not even like it should hold the bat properly, let alone know how to hit the ball properly.
However, as Shay stepped up to the plate, the pitcher, the opposing team just did not seem to be on the victory of this moment, and threw the ball in softly so Shay could at least meet him.
The first pitch Shay swung clumsily and struck over.
The pitcher again took a few steps forward to toss the ball gently in the direction of Shays.
As the pitch came in, Shay dove for the ball and struck him deeply moved back to the pitcher. The game would now be over. The pitcher picked up the ball and had so effortlessly able to throw to first baseman. Shay would then be flown out, and the game would have been terminated. Instead, the pitcher threw the ball over the head of first baseman's and out of reach of the other players.
from the stands and both teams yelling, "Shay, run to first! Run to first! "
Never in his life had Shay run so far, but he made it to first base. Wide-eyed and a little surprised he rushed along the baseline.
cried all: "Run-on run to second!" Shay took a deep breath and ran awkwardly, but more proud to reach his goal.
As Shay rounded the corner to second base, the right fielder had the ball ... he
the smallest guy on their team, was the now had his first chance to become the hero of his team.
He could have thrown the ball to the second baseman, but he had understood what the pitcher was doing, so he had the ball on purpose quite high and far over the head of the third baseman's.
So Shay ran to third base, as in delirium, while the runners in front of him circled the stops to home.
universe now shouting
"Shay, Shay, Shay, run to second, run to second,
Shay reached third base because the opposing shortstop ran to help and it was him in the right direction third base had turned and called:
!
"run to third", "Shay run to third" As Shay
had made the third base, all the players of both teams and the spectators were on their feet and shouted:
"Shay run home! Run home "
Shay ran home, stepped on the plate and was hailed as a hero of the day, reaching the Grand Slam and won the day for his team had.
"On this day,"
So said the father, while his tears streaming down his face,
brought "the players from both teams a piece of true love and humanity in Shays world
Shay experienced no summer anymore.
He died the following winter, and had never forgotten to be a hero and made me so happy to have and see how the mother hugged her little hero in tears when he came home! "
Now just a small footnote to this story:
We send thousands of jokes all via e-mail through the area without thinking about it, but when it comes to sending messages regarding life would then delay the most.
The Tough, Strong and sometimes obscene happened cyberspace easily but public discussion of decent things, in our schools and our workplaces only too often suppressed.
If you want to pass on that message, perhaps, then it may well be that you your Address Book and go through herausfilterst the addresses of those who may not be the "right" recipients of this type of message.
We all requiring thousands of possibilities, the "natural order of things" have to realize. Many seemingly trivial interpersonal us Contacts Jobs a choice: Do we
a bit of love and humanity or more we miss this chance and make the world a little colder this?
A wise man once said every society
must be assessed by how it treats its least blessed members.
It reminds me of my children as they were often treated for ; of language disorder or developmental delay. Doctors my daughter was stupid as if they were dumb. My daughter asked me the with 6 years why the doctor is not asked, because I was loud and said so they know my child can not speak as good as it is not on your head and everything goes favor .. of looked at me so and was so red ... and they can talk to them just like I with them.
So I've been crying in manchesmal me about the inhumanity.
The other side was when it was taken with the sport, the three struggle to say no without you can not really talk. The PE teacher said for their development, it is very good at self-confident to be among all the other girls are not normally attract attention and finally to just be there. So I saw her proud face. That was what I recognized the humanity of the sport teacher. She had a heart for the daughter.
