Being a talented person is a gift from God. People with down syndrome are most likely to be distinguished from normal persons. They have special and different abilities that do various activities. However, some people in different societies do not believe in them. They we regard them as useless creatures that bring shame to their families. This story will prove that most disabled people can achieve great success in different fields. Once upon a time, there was a young man named Steven. Steven was from a rich family.
His father was a well-known businessman. Steven worked as an engineer. Steven was friendly and nice. Though he had too much money, he was always modest. Steven helped the poor as he thought that the rich must give to the poor in order to live in a balanced society. Stephen was in love with his cousin Maria.
Maria too loved Stephen very much. Yet Stephen’s father, William was against such love. William justified his refusal that inbreeding is scary and weird enough. He added that inbreeding could cause the birth of disabled children. Stephen decided to marry Maria. Stephen tried to convince his father when he said I love Maria. Father. Maria is my childhood love.
We’ve been raised together. We laughed together and we studied at the same school together. I cannot leave her. It is an impossible idea to look for another girl to be my wife and the mother of my children except Maria. These thoughts and beliefs in your mind are false. Science has been improved very much. Such cases happen no longer. It occurred only in ancient times when there was deep ignorance and lack of knowledge. I assure to you that I and Maria are with healthy fertility. I took her to do some checks in order to make you change your mind. The doctor told us that we have.
No problems to have normal babies. The doctor added that being relatives does not necessarily mean that we’ll definitely give birth to abnormal kids. You must think in a more logical way, father. Maria is the daughter of your late brother. Before my uncle died, he urged you to take care of her solo daughter Maria. My marriage for Maria is the only thing which guarantees her safety and living with us. William replied angrily I see.
A case happened in my friend’s family which caused the existence of a disabled kid among them. I am afraid that your marriage with Maria will bring such shame to our family. Our family from which is full of scientists and doctors. This can bring several problems and quarrels. Inbreeding is filled with defects and disorders. I do want you to have seen children whom you can be proud of. You’re a great engineer with a highly good reputation. Try to reconsider this matter again. Stephen insisted on marrying Maria. Maria told Stephen that they must obey his father. She said Perhaps your father’s right.
Steven, do not burden yourself. Do not make me the cause of your regret. And misery. Search for another lady rather than me, so as to be able to enjoy your scientific and practical life. As for me, I intend to remain single forever. I must dedicate the rest of my life for studying and working. Stephen refused to abandon Maria. Steven kept trying hardly to make William accept. Finally, William agreed. Steven and Maria got married.
Unfortunately, Maria died after the delivery. At once, as a shock for William, the baby was born with down syndrome. As the doctors confirmed, William rebuked Stephen. Stephen was crying for his love, Maria. It didn’t matter for him whether the baby was normal or not. He worried about Maria, and when she died, Steven fainted. William was a cruel and heartless man.
He had no mercy toward the innocent baby. Tragically, Stephen carried his baby, hugging him and kissing him tenderly. He addressed him do not worry, my child. Your mother died, but your father is still alive. I will take care of you properly. I will protect you till your last breath. Your mother wanted to name you Samuel and I will fulfill her wish.
From now on, your name is Samuel. William ordered Stephen to let the baby in a childcare center. Stephen refused. William had a heart attack. Stephen had to obey his father as he was afraid that his father might die because of him. Reluctantly, Steven took Samuel to a child care center. He told the officials there that he.
Found Samuel in the street and so he came to the center to receive him and take care of him. Samuel was held in the center. Stephen cried heavily after he returned home. He blamed himself very much for leaving his baby alone. In fact, Samuel was a nice baby with innocent features. William praised his son Stephen for taking such a difficult action. However, Steven decided to send money to the center monthly in order to care for Samuel properly.
Samuel Grows Up samuel proved to be a smart boy, in spite of having down syndrome. Steven expected that Samuel might be adopted by anyone. But this did not happen. Stephen hoped his child be adopted, as he thought that it would be better for Samuel to be raised in a house rather than in a care center and among a family of friends, in order to not feel that he was a rejected child. Steven tried again to let William accept to receive Samuel in their house. Steven said you must get rid of.
Your haughtiness and cruelty. The importance of showing mercy to others is to emotionally support them. If there would not kindness and mercy in this world, maybe there would not be any person with hopes and strengths to fight against problems, to give strength, courtesy and support to someone in need. We’ll give them energy to fight against their problems. Basically, it’s like holding their hands and supporting them to walk forward.
Showing mercy always brings happiness to others. We should be merciful as we do not know when and which moment we might be in need of mercy. It’s important because how you treat others is the way that you’ll be treated. I am a father after all. Samuel must be in need of our protection and our support. He could not defend himself as he is weak. William disagreed again. Stephen gives up totally.
Samuel proved his brilliance in playing squash. Samuel got many medals. Samuel became famous. Steven was proud of Samuel. William died. Steven decided to inform Samuel that he’s his real father. Steven went to Samuel’s sitter. He intended to tell her first the truth. He thought that it would be better for Samuel if he told the truth of his real father by a close person like his sitter, in order to not make the boy shocked. Thus Stephen went to Samuel’s sitter, Monica. He told her everything. Monica seemed angry with Stephen.
She shouted at him you are such a heartless man. You do not deserve to be a father of talented Samuel who becomes a source of pride and honor. How dare you abandon your disabled child all these years? This boy is so kind. I’ve been a sitter since he was five. I noticed that he’s more beautiful than any normal child. Samuel is so kind and spontaneous. He is pure. Samuel cannot lie nor cheat. He is an angel from heaven. I feel that life is still good and nice. When I sit with Samuel. His pure smile and sense of humor fill me with hope and optimism.
I receive too much positive energy from him. Samuel always makes me forget about life problems and worries. I sense that I become a young child when I converse with Samuel. This boy has a white heart. He treats me kindly. He always helps me. Samuel is self independent. He likes doing everything for himself. He’s active as he trained by every day. Until he became a squash champion. You let him all such long periods and now you’re asking me to tell him that you’re his real father.
It’s too late, Mr. Steven. Samuel has grown by now. He doesn’t need your care. Yet you left him before. In the most time he was in need for your compassion and kindness. Do not blame but yourself. Stephen cried. He told Monica you are right, Monica. I should have taken my child and my hug. I must not abandon him. I do not deserve to be a father.
Real fathers remain beside their children, no matter how. I must be punished for my indifference and carelessness. I obeyed my father’s orders on the cost of my child’s psychological state. However, God did not let Samuel alone. He sent him kind hearted people like you to encourage him and support him until he became a successful young man.
I wish I would not listen to my father’s word that children with disabilities are usually shame for their families. How stupid I was. How ignorant I was. Now I can say that I am the fool himself. I was taken by false, inherited and conservative thoughts which have no proofs. I must leave. I am ended up as a lonely and useless person.
I must pay the price of my previous mistakes. I must die. Monica is sympathize with Stephen. Monica told him that she would inform Samuel of the truth. Besides, she revealed to him that she would do her best to make Samuel love him and accept him as his father. On seeing his child, Steven hugged him tightly, asking him to forgive him.
Samuel told Stephen that he loved him and that he wished to meet him. Monica fell in love with Stephen. Stephen married Monica. Stephen, Monica and Samuel lived in happiness and harmony. One can learn that children are very important in our life. They are those who teach us the genuine meaning of hope and positivity.
