greatest lesson in life

I got my greatest lesson in life at age five, from another five year old. I was at the Shrine Hospital for Crippled Children in Minneapolis MN. Several of us little girls were in the PT (physical therapy) swimming pool...all four foot deep of it. As we splashed and played around one little girl pushed me. "Hey," I said indigently, "you can't push me, I'm crippled!" "So am I," shouted the little girl, and gleefully pushed me again. When what she had said registered, I was astonished. I wasn't the only one in life who was dealing with being crippled, and it didn't make me special. What was going to make me special now?
