23 - A Real Boy

How autism shatered their lives - and made a family from the pieces

This book, A Real Boy is written by Christopher Stevens and Nicola Stevens, the parents to an autistic boy name David.
His parents wrote this book about him and what they have got through from the time David was born until he is 11 years old(if I didn't remember wrongly).
People who do not have any disabled child in their family will not be experiencing the same thing as the family that does. having a child who's autistic is not easy but if the parents do not give up on them, things will eventually turn nice, sweet and memorable. Christopher and Nicola had brought David up so well without neglecting their elder child, James. If I have not read this book on my own, I will not understand or feel how the family with a disabled child feel. I wonder if I could do the same thing like the Stevens did in the future if I have a child that's autistic since this case seems to be very common now a days. Of course I hope my child would not be one. But if he is, I will accept him to this world by providing him a warm family and lots of love.
Nicola and Christopher is very tough in facing al the chaos David created, and also the negative look from outsiders. But they are very lucky because they have so many people supporting them.
Throughout this book, we can see a lot improvement on David. He start to pick up words and saying them out. Eventhough his English is no proper, he had start to talk little by little. When there's one part that said that David can sing, I was really shocked and touch with it. I can't imagine if i am there at the time. How will I react to him?
David is a musical boy. From the way his parents describe him, I can see that his parents are really proud of him and do not leave him behind because of what he is. And David is a real good looking boy.

I hope I can meet with this Stevens' family one day. I would like to know more about David.
I wonder Christopher will write a second book about David or not. If he did, I WILL for sure buy his book.HAHA~~

Hope you all will go to the bookshop and get a copy of this book. It's really wonderful and it can bring up and down your hapiness level. You will smile to yourself when you are reading it and some part do make you laugh out. I really enjoy this book very much.

22 - WHEN A LIZARD CAN, WHY CAN'T WE?

This is a true story that happened in Japan .

In order to renovate the house,

someone in Japan breaks open the wall.

Japanese houses normally have a hollow space between the wooden walls.

When tearing down the walls, he found that there was a lizard stuck there

because a nail from outside hammered into one of its feet.

He sees this, feels pity, and at the same time curious, as when he checked the nail,

it was nailed 10 years ago when the house was! First built..


What happened?


The lizard has survived in such position for 10 years!!!!!!!!!!

In a dark wall partition for 10 years without moving, it is impossible and mind-boggling.

Then he wondered how this lizard survived for 10 years! Without moving a single step--since its foot was

Nailed!

So he stopped his work and observed the lizard, what it has been doing, and what and how it has been eating.

Later, not knowing from where it came appears another lizard, with food in its mouth.

Ah! He was stunned and touched deeply.

For the lizard

That was stuck by nail; another lizard has been feeding it for the past 10 years...

Imagine? It has been doing that untiringly for 10 long years, without giving up hope on its partner.


Think, will you do that to your partner?



Think that will you do it to your Mom,

Who brought you after a big struggle of nine long months?

Or at least to your Dad, Friends, Co-workers, brothers and Sisters?


Imagine what a small creature can do, that a creature blessed with a brilliant mind can't.



As information and communication technology advances,

our access to information becomes faster and faster.

But the

Distance between human beings . ... . is it getting closer as well?

Please never abandon your loved ones... those who love you.
Never Say U R Busy When They Really Need You...

You May Have The Entire World At Your Feet......

But You Might Be The Only World To Them....


A Moment of negligence might break the very heart
which loves you thru all odds....


Before you say something just remember. It takes a moment to Break but an entire life to make...

To Live use Heart and to Survive use Brains.

Then Life would be meaningful...
Love, Joy and Happiness....
