wat if?

browsing thru the photos of Mr Brown's (SG's renowned bloger @ www.mrbrown.com) children and family. saw his pretty wife and cute children. what a lucky man... although they have an autistic child. his wife (from his blog entries) is a strong and great woman. their entire family supported each other in every situation- highs and lows. i truly admire them.

this sem. i am studying psychology, mileu therapy, etc. in theory, i can do a wonderful (almost flawless) care and support plan for any patient with altered mental perception, even kids. but in real life will i be able to face with the 'disability' of the innocent, perfect little being? i struggle even thinking abt it. that's why KKH was never my 1st choice nor in any of my choices for service!

my lecturer-TT said that it is the society! we are all socialized to measure everyone with a 'standard' but we had forgotten that even the so called 'disabled' are perfect in the way they are. if only we can see that, we will not treat them as if they are any less than a human. that is when there will be true interaction of care and communication between the patient and nurse. *sweat* its a great big obstacle for me sia... i pray i can really do it!

turning the table round-
what will you do if you have a child that the world consider as less than normal?? will you still be the same, holding on with the faith of "all things are possible" or will you be turned into a grumpy negative person? i don't know what will i do. maybe i will cry a lot and slip away into seclusion and eventually regain my energy and trust in God to make things right in His timing, in His will. still the element of "why" will nevertheless still remains. after all we are all human isn't it?
