A story is told about a soldier who was finally coming home after having fought in Vietnam. He called his parents from San Francisco.

“Mom and Dad, I’m coming home, but I’ve a favor to ask. I have a friend I’d like to bring home with me.”

“Sure,” they replied, “we’d love to meet him.”

“There’s something you should know the son continued, “he was hurt pretty badly in the fighting. He stepped on a land mind and lost an arm and a leg. He has nowhere else to go, and I want him to come live with us.”

“I’m sorry to hear that, son. Maybe we can help him find somewhere to live.”

“No, Mom and Dad, I want him to live with us.”

“Son,” said the father, “you don’t know what you’re asking. Someone with such a handicap would be a terrible burden on us. We have our own lives to live, and we can’t let something like this interfere with our lives. I think you should just come home and forget about this guy. He’ll find a way to live on his own.”

At that point, the son hung up the phone. The parents heard nothing more from him. A few days later, however, they received a call from the San Francisco police. Their son had died after falling from a building, they were told. The police believed it was suicide. The grief-stricken parents flew to San Francisco and were taken to the city morgue to identify the body of their son. They recognized him, but to their horror they also discovered something they didn’t know, their son had only one arm and one leg.

The parents in this story are like many of us. We find it easy to love those who are good-looking or fun to have around, but we don’t like people who inconvenience us or make us feel uncomfortable. We would rather stay away from people who aren’t as healthy, beautiful, or smart as we are. Thankfully, there’s someone who won’t treat us that way. Someone who loves us with an unconditional love that welcomes us into the forever family, regardless of how messed up we are.

Tonight, before you tuck yourself in for the night, say a little prayer that God will give you the strength you need to accept people as they are, and to help us all be more understanding of those who are different from us!!!

nakaka inspired sis arigatou thnx

ganda nman story,sinubukan nya lng magulang nya ,siya pala un wahhhh

wow gnda nmn ng story na yan..thnkz

Tama ka dyan sis minsan kasi mahirap i accept ang taong kakaiba diba yun sana matutunan natin na magmahal unconditionally maging ano man sya,sino man sya .

oo nga napakaganda nman ng story na yan grabe....

thanks for sharing mama jhoan..

nice story, but i find the son a stupid fool!!!nag self pity sya...diman lang sya nag exert ng effort na subukang umuwi, dumb ass.for all we know, ang anak kahit pa anong hitsura nyan, mahal padin ng magulang yan..ala pang nagsabi na magulang na pangit ang kanilang anak.




huh???meron bang 100% sa unconditional love??

Alam mo kuya na gets ko yung point ng guy bakit nya tinanong yun ayaw nyang pahirapan ang parents nya diba or he just testing if his parents can still take care of him I know walang magulang na makakatiis sa anak.Bilib ako sa mga taong nagmamahal unconditionally kasi yun ang tinatawag na true love.

pero ako diko magets talaga e..ok sana ang story kung di sya nagsuicide diba.me impact.kaso nagpakamatay na dinaman najujustify ang side ng parents nya.bias yon diba.it's but natural for parents don sa initial reaction nila, iba padin yong andon kana at makikita ang kalagayan mo.

Ganun eh huli na ang lahat yun ang lesson pang isa "Dont commit suicide"""

mama jhoan, medyo OT na

yan ang tunay, never and never do foolish things kahit na gaano pa kabigat ang problema mo.

lahat ng problema laging me katapat na solusyon yan.ang problema at solution e balance of evil and good.most often, yang problema gawa ng evil yan then yong solution yan ang bigay ng dyos sa atin.kaya kita mo, pag ang tao me problema either papakamatay sila or magagalit sa dyos diba, kasi nga yon e gawa ng evil para magalit ang tao sa dyos.and once na nagpakamatay ka or nagalit sa dyos nakaak score si taning.

:singing:

ayaw nya kc maging pabigat sya sa magulang nya kya nagawa nya un, lalo na kung matatanda na cla.dapat nga hnde sya ng suicide ksi meron pa mas grabe ang kapansanan kasya sa kanya.
