I had a friend in college who could not use his legs (he had polio) He never let it slow him down though. He travelled about 50 KM daily to college in a bus, sometimes standing on his support. Every one in our college knew him. From the canteen workers to the photocopier guy. Last time I talked to him he was working as a computer lab assistant. I can't even begin to think how difficult it is for people who have lost or can not use one of the organs but I never detected a feeling of self pity or despondence from my friend. Always cheerful and calm as if he had no trouble in the world. I have made this observation that those who have suffered great misfortune in their life generally know best how to live in the moment. It's funny how we take some very important things in life for granted and worrying over silly small trivialities. I hope the Miles will emerge stronger after this tragedy and find strength in his life.
