Try not to cry!! A story is told about a soldier who was finally coming home after having fought in Vietnam. He called his parents from San Franciso. Mom and Dad, Im coming home, but Ive a favor to ask. I have a friend Id like to bring home with me Sure, they replied, wed love to meet him. Theres something you should know the son continued, he was hurt pretty badly in the fighting. He stepped on a land mine and lost an arm and a leg. He has nowhere else to go, and I want him to come live with us. Im sorry to hear that, son. Maybe we can help him find somewhere to live. No, Mom and Dad, I want him to live with us. Son, said the father, you dont know what youre asking. Someone with such a handicap would be a terrible burden on us. We have our own lives to live, and we cant let something like this interfere with our lives. I think you should just come home and forget about this guy. Hell find a way to live his own. At that point, the son hung up the phone. The parents heard nothing more from him. A few a days later, however, they received a call from the San Francisco police. Their son had died after falling from a building, they were told. The police believed it was suicide. The grief-stricken parents flew to San Francisco and were taken to the city morgue to identify the body of their son. They recognized him, but to their horror they also discovered something they didnt know. Their son had only one hand and one leg. A note in his pocket said I will no more be a burden to you dad . * ME * Oh Dear God Help us to Accept one another the way they are!
