• So many of us can only see what is wrong with are lives, but the truth is, we are blessed. We are blessed to have a roof over are heads, to have running water, food, all the things we take for granted. Some people dont have the things we do, and some people go through things that we are blind to. I have nurofibramatosis(sp?). There are different cases of it, mine is minor. I have small bumps on my skin called fibormas. I also have dark spots on my skin called cafaala(sp?) spots. My tiba bone in my left leg is also bent, but aside that, I am blessed. Its a minor case. Others that have the same thing that I do, but more sever, might not even reach my age, wich is 16. Iv seen things at the hospital I go to that can toch your heart. A little girl that looked no older than 9 possibly younger doesnt have any legs, and moves her self by slideing arcoss the floor with her hands. A little boy that coldnt be older than 10 cant walk. Like me, he has a brace, but unlike me, he has them on both legs, and has had 10+ surgerys already, and will most likly have more. I was In the same room as him at one point, he was trying so hard to walk, but he just coldnt, his legs woldnt suport him, no matter how hard he tried.
    So much can go wrong in are lifes, but it doesnt help to dwell on the dark stuff, look fowrd to the light, and rember that you are blessed. Are lifes may not be perfect, no ones life is, and most never will be. I look at it as a obsitcle to overcome that will make you stronger, and I wont let my condition hold me back. I limp when I walk or run, and iv been picked on when I was younger because of it, but i didnt let it stop me from moveing on. When I was in the room with that little boy, he saw I wore a brace as well, and when I got up to leave to room, I heard his mom, or granmom one say to him,
    " see? she can walk with a brace, and you will be able to as well" Tryiong to help him
    Just rember, no matter what is wrong with us, or what happens to us, we are blessed.
