Special people makes world special

 

 

In this colorful world very special people does exist. Special in many ways and may the one reason is, they are children of very special parents.

                        Once I went to visit my elder sister's home. My elder sister and her husband both can not listen and can not speak, yes , both are deaf and dumb. After all formalities of snacks and tea we all sat and started speaking in sign language. In some time her younger daughter appeared who was playing around. She is just 2 years old. I took her in my lap and started irritating her with my kisses. My sister asked me to take a check whether she can speak clearly or not, hear properly or not. I asked her "what is your name and your elder sister's name?". She said "My name is Kalichhma and my elderl chichtel's name is Chopia. You al my Maachi naa?" i.e. " My name is Karishma and my elder sister's name is Sophia. You are my Mashi na?". I was completely delighted and my throat was choked, I was unable to answer her question.

                       Then I said to my sister that she is very clear speaker and an awesome kid. I Knew what my sister wanted, just a confirmation that her kid should not spend a life like her, she wants to see her complete. Each and every parents wishes that their kids should not suffer the problems in life what they have suffered already, they want to make their kid's life as possible as comfortable. A blind couple who can not see their kid ever, wants their child should not have vision problem, a middle class parent spent all their life to accumulate  luxury for their kid.

                       After finishing my sister's task I thanked to god and started irritating Karishma again, with my kisses.Within 10 minutes Sophia entered to the home.The 6 years old told me "Namaste Maashi". I said namaste to her and ask what she learned in school today. She started singing "twinkle twinkle" , "Johny Johny" , "baba baba black sheep"  and many more rhyms.

                       I started for my home after a while. On the way unstoppable thoughts were dwelling my mind. The couple got their voice back via those super kids. Parents wants to see their kids in the position where they never reached, with all good things what they never had. Those deaf and dumb duo had only one expectation that their kids should speak, they should hear. Karishma's voice was still running in my head and I wept. But these tears were only because I was too happy for the duo. I have seen my sister alone many times when we were young. Kids playing around never includes her in any game. Now she is not alone, she has a family.She is the mother of 2 cutest girl in the world who does not only understand her even know how to deal with her.

                        Those 2 super kids knows that their parents can not listen if they ask for chocklate, their parents can not tell angels' bed time stories, their parents can not sing lulaby, their parents can not hear their cry if they pee on the bed at night, their parents will not open if they knock the door, their parents will not run and hug them when they come after school and shouts 'mommy'. They have to go near to their parents, they have to touch them, make them feel that they are around !!

Yes mum,I know I am your voice ...

You are always my suaper hero,
