The piano and my handicap

One of my passion when I was young was playing the Piano. It was my dream to learn it and become a pianist. I didn't know you had to have good and strong hands and arms to do that. MY piano lessons ended after a year. I discovered I couldn't stretch my arm far enough to do a roll and play the keys at both ends of the piano. It was very frustrating nevertheless I still learned to read notes and play a few pieces.

Unfortunately, our piano has been out of tune for ages now so here I am on our keyboard (set to piano) playing the only piece i still know how to do - Vincent" by Don Mclean. Notice my left hand fingers not bending and stiff? Part of the deformity I got from my paralysis. I haven't played in a long time so excuse the few fumbles.

My nephew Patrick Flores asked me what's my favorite song and I told him, when he went home he looked it up on youtube and he posted this video on Facebook. My nephew is 11. Please watch and be moved because this moved me :)

Note: Now who's to say people with disabilities can't have all that? 


Thanking my friend Dodi Short for the link to this story.

Not "Death" but "Love"

It’s February and who says people with disabilities should be left out in the ‘love’ month? Not at all….

I thought once how Theocritus had sung

Of the sweet years, the dear and wished-for years,

Who each one in a gracious hand appears

To bear a gift for mortals, old or young:

And, as I mused it in his antique tongue,

I saw, in gradual vision through my tears,

The sweet, sad years, the melancholy years,

Those of my own life, who by turns had flung

A shadow across me.  Straightway I was ’ware,

So weeping, how a mystic Shape did move

Behind me, and drew me backward by the hair;

And a voice said in mastery, while I strove,—

“Guess now who holds thee!”—“Death,” I said, But, there,

The silver answer rang, “Not Death, but Love.” 

Elizabeth Barrett Browning

Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806-1861) is now best remembered for her "Sonnets from the Portuguese," a cycle of sonnets during her courtship with Robert Browning. In fact however, she was an accomplished poet before she met Browning. Most of her poems were not about romantic love. They were topical poems about political issues such as child labor, slavery and the Italian national cause. Elizabeth Barrett was a "hopeless" invalid and recluse, six years older than Robert Browning. They were happily married and had a son. The fame of the poets, and the fairy-tale story of the girl who was thought to be doomed to be an old maid, rescued from a loveless existence and brought back to life and the world by a gallant suitor, kindled the imagination of the public.

Chris Medina - Break even (a beautiful love story)

This story really touched my heart. This is what 'LOVE' is supposed to be all about...



It's so easy to find a man who falls for beauty, you can buy them a cent at the store but one who would love and commit to a handicap woman, like myself, is a rare gem, and that's the one I want!.
