incomparable attitude of a handicapped friend

I decided to go outside my residence to breathe the cool fresh air from the mountainside when I saw a strange man, on a folding bed, who was taking a nap at that time. Beside him was an old wheel chair. His family has just moved from Mindanao to Cebu.

He slowly opened his eyes with a grin. “Are you staying there?”. I said yes. His relative has to carry him whenever there is a need to relieve himself. I just learned that his lower portion of the body has been paralyzed for almost ten years when he was ambushed! He seldom closes his mouth, sharing the news of the day every time I see him when I leave for work and arrive home. He loves to narrate his daily experience throughout the day – lying, sleeping, reading, eating in a same place!

With this current situation, I thought his being a handicap kills him slowly. I was wrong!

“Having a good conversation with someone inspires me to wake up and face this beautiful life….” as he vividly narrates again how he was ambushed.
