That
fateful day was 14.07.1998. My father has 4siblings . So total his family has 7
people . 1 father , 1 mother , my father (eldest child) , followed by 2younger
brothers and 2younger sisters . The third brother of this family was selected
for scholarship as his results was amazing . So from Johor Bahru his family had
to travel to Penang to make him join into the university . So as the family was
big they went there in 2 cars . The first car consits of my grandparents and my
father . My father was driving , and the other car was driven by the second
brother and consists of the 3other siblings
. And they
were travelling in the night time . And as you know Malaysia in the past wasn't
as developed as now , and even now there are areas in Malaysia yet to be
developed . So the were no street lights and it was very very dark . And they
continue travelling , while continue driving my father was getting sleepy and
sleepy.
However he
continued driving and than slowly as he fell asleep h accidentally hit the
bumpers and th speed was so fast that the car flipped around 8 times . Both my
grandparents were thrown out of the car , my grandfather tragically died on the
spot . My father and his mother was taken to the hospital . My grandmother was
in hospital but her injuries were not as severe . But for my father he was
unconscious and doctor soon said that my father had 3rd degree Spinal cord
injury , and doctor said it was a miracle for him to survive . He also said
that he will never recover from that . The doctor said walking would be a
miracle , and my father was paralysed from head to toe . My grandmother
couldn't bear the pain of losing the husband and soon after 5 months she left
this world . Now my father as the eldest sibling had to look after all his other
siblings .. But how ? Recovering would be hard and chances are as low as Zero .
How is it possible ? But in life they say miracles do happen and what happen
next would surely be a miracle . As all of th relatives visited my father they
would say things like " look what he's done , he has killed his parents
" and other negative things to him . What they didn't know is that my
father couldn't move , couldn't talk , couldn't open his eyes but he could hear
. Each day he heard words which would hurt him. A normal person would just give
up and just stay with that situation forever . But my father knew he had
responsibilities , he had 4other siblings to take care of , he is the new
leader of the family . With this in mind he believed he could recover .
Each day he
would visualise himself walking again . Everyday the doctors said he won't walk
he started believing more and more that he will be able to walk . And after
some 3 Months the doctor saw that my father leg had slight movement . Very
slight , but he could feel it . Doctor was starting to give hope. My father
could start to open his eyes , but he couldn't talk and ate liquid food .
Slowly each day he was motivated and after 9months in the hospital and many
different surgeries and operations . After inserting many metal plates in his
hand and back which are still there he managed to stand back up an walk .
Doctors couldn't believe it . They Said it was impossible . But from this story
we can understand the power of believe.
. If you
believe that you can don something you will be able . It may take time , people
will always talk bad about you and curse you and scold you , but you gotta
ignore all of it and be positive . Now my 2 ND uncle is working at Money
Changer , my 3rd uncle is a doctor , both my aunties are educated and work in
food industry and office . My father strived to his best to make out what his
best for his siblings . From this story we should know that we should always
believe and hav hope in ourselves . What we think will happen will happen ,
that is the power of believing. Thanks for reading , hope you will take some
benefits from this story.
Cheers :)
