Treasure your Health
I was attending an award ceremony for Learn Direct where I saw a young man in a wheelchair watching the awards.
After the presentation, I saw his parents hugging him, so I went over and asked him his name. His name was Neil and he had severe Cerebral Palsy.
I could see Neil’s parents loved him dearly. So I made a real fuss of them and Neil was crying with laughter and joy, as were his parents.
Neil lived in Cambridge with three other boys. What a fantastic young chap he was. People often walk past people with a disability and don’t say anything but it’s always good for one’s soul to say hello to anyone in a wheelchair- you would be surprised at the response. I think everyone in a wheelchair should wear a badge saying, “Hello, I won’t bite you!”
I would love to create a ‘National Hello Day’ to get people talking more to each other- I always try to make an effort and it often pays off with friendships.
