She was not a nice kid. Like many kids she couldn't understand why were those children different.
Those children known as friends or schoolmates are intellectually slower.
They were placed in the last class of the school. 'Outcast'..'Stupid' and 'Weird' they were called.
One of them took on a liking to her and she didn't like it.
She resented it. She thought this girl was weird. This girl liked to follow her around in school.
Somedays if she was in a good mood she would talk to this girl. Some day she turned nasty,she shooed this girl away and asked her to leave her alone. They were 8 or 9 years old then.
This girl never really did anything to provoke her except showing her admiration for her.
She never accepted this girl..
She grew up and she became a nice lady. She thinks about her 'weird' friend once in a while.
Wondering why she then so resented her being. She feels sorry for what she did.
She has her own children eventually. One of her children is 'special'. He attends a special school.
He is slower than the other kids of his age. She loved him more than life.
She remembered her friend and she thinks perhaps her friend too was special.
learning disability, down syndrome, autism, dyslexic, brain damaged, cerebral palsy...
She will never know..
God has strange plans for one to make amends.

it's a path chosen for us, for a reason perhaps. hard to swallow. sink into pain, dive into it and be one eventually. what am i saying.?!
I believe that in this world nothing is forever or permanent. Sometimes, people go through these challenges in order to toughen themselves. To be stronger in faith and different from the rest.
You are very blessed in many ways. And just keep your faith and thank God for everything. I believe everything will come to past. Stay in the line and focus. :)
The light is not very far away from you.
Thank you for all the kind words of advice.
I will try to stay focus.
thanking God for my everyday blessings.
