Man. I watched this documentary tonight about this 26yr old man from China, who has elephantiasis. He has gone through life carrying his unrecognizable face in his arms, and being looked after by his parents. He has left his home twice in his life because he doesn't want people to be scared of him or laugh. He mumbled through folds of skin that all he wished for was that he could live long enough to look after them when they grow old and need to be cared for. He didn't wish for the tumor to be gone, or for his face to be normal, or to be dead.
It made me feel horrible.
Here I am, feeling like I'm going through life struggling, and feeling like I have nothing....and there he is. Wishing for a longer existence to serve his duty as a son, and feeling happy from the little things.
I am humbled and shamed by his selfless outlook on life.
I hope his wish comes true.

Look on the myspace vids, a hospital in China has taken him in, free of charge, and they have removed already 40 lb. of the tumor. They have scheduled for another operation later this year. I just say him today, and now I pray for him every night. I hope you do to.
whats sticking you hands under your chin and talking to your ''friend'' gunna do.
Oh, man you're so kind to not to be frightened by his face, yet admiring him
poor men have strong will
I hope everything goes well for this man and his family.
This can help you only look for vacuums that meet
this price criterion and you will not be tempted to look at
a vacuum that is out of your price range. The attachments and unique design of the Bissell let you keep your home free of allergens and pet hair.
Before you purchase, though, always make sure that
these universal tools will work with the cleaner you
have at home.
