As we all know a child’s disability is often followed by their marginalization in society for example only about two percent of children with disabilities have access to education in addition disability impresses people especially if it’s an obvious fact in developing countries where most children with disabilities are illiterate and live totally isolated from the rest of
Society in many cases these miners are forced to beg in order to survive and live on the streets and situations of extreme poverty this is the story of matthew long a boy who was so longed for by his parents named amy and harrison wright a billionaire married couple they met when they were college students both were studying administration since they were the heirs of their parents
Successful companies they liked each other immediately when they saw each other for the first time but at first they became best friends with the passage of time they fell in love and when they graduated from university their parents gave them important positions in their companies so that they would know everything they should do when the time came they had to take full charge of the companies or their business
When they were already earning their own money the two of them traveled the world together they had so much fun together as they couldn’t wait to finally get married and grow old together so they decided that it was time for that to take the next step so they got engaged and their parents couldn’t be happier for them plus they both came from very powerful families and merged both companies thus making a bigger fortune
A few years later they decided it was time to start having a family so amy stopped taking birth control and harrison began to see what kind of room he could have for his future son or daughter two weeks later amy began to feel unwell she had nausea and vomiting for both harrison and amy it was a good sign as it meant that she was possibly pregnant so they immediately went to the clinic and did a pregnancy test
The results came out that it was positive both were very happy and even so much the emotion that they hugged each other and hugged the doctor amy started with care that she could ever baby healthy when she was five months old they were only able to find out through her baby’s ultrasound if it was a boy or a girl she was pleasantly surprised when the doctor confirmed that the baby would be a boy
Harrison of course was overly excited as he wanted a boy as his first child everything was rosy for that moment for the future parents but the world turned gray for them when it was the birth of their little one since amy was in labor the doctors realized that the baby was missing a part of his little arms and had a disabled foot harrison who was next to amy in the delivery room saw his disabled baby come
Into the world he got so scared that he backed out of there amy didn’t know why her husband had left until the moment her baby was delivered to her and she realized why harrison ran off in shock instantly she also rejected him she didn’t want to be near him the doctors were outraged by the behavior of the two parents with their baby when amy came out of the delivery room and was already in a room at the clinic
The doctors tried to talk to her but amy didn’t want to be near and she didn’t want to feed him either so the doctors couldn’t do more so they left the baby in the hands of the parents the parents of the spouses arrived very excited to see their first grandchild but both told them what had happened and even they agreed with their children’s decision not to have that baby since for them it would only be a burden and would bring shame that would stain the surname
Of both families so they hired an unknown person to drop him off somewhere near an orphanage so the owners would see him and take care of him so when this person set out to fulfill the mandate of those gentlemen he felt so sorry for that little boy he was one day old he knew that the orphanage would only see him as a burden or maybe even treat him badly so he decided to take it to his house
That man was named lucas long he was a humble man who dedicated himself to recycling plastics for a living lucas’s wife sold lunches in a small part of her house when lucas arrived at his home with the baby in his arms his wife alexandra seeing him asked is that a baby then lucas told her what had happened so he left his wife outraged and emotional about that baby who was abandoned by his own family
So alexandra took on the role of mother that little boy she never saw him as a burden she just thought the life she had been given was a little unfair because she struggled for many years to get pregnant but the mother of that little one that however she had the opportunity to have a baby she decided to reject it lucas and alexandra filled out the adoption papers for the little one it took them a bit of time but for them it
Was worth the wait when the long-awaited day arrived they were both officially parents of that baby whom they named matthew long those new parents were so excited to have their baby that in a small room they decorated it with a few things they had but they improvised everything in a very cute and tender way they even improvised a crib and because alexandra wasn’t the mother she didn’t produce milk which
Meant they had to buy formula and that was extremely expensive for them but they felt it was worth buying and even sacrificing a bit for the two of them by reducing their portions of food so that little matthew could have his milk over the years matthew turned five and in the humble little neighborhood where he lived he had friends who did not make fun of him because little matthew since he started school at the age of three he
Received a lot of teasing from children who teased him about his disability but as time passed he met true friends of his who always supported and defended him and even the three played games in which there was no need to stand although his parents tried to give him the best they could there were still needs in his house sometimes his father didn’t get much money and in his mother’s case she sometimes didn’t sell much food
In addition not all the houses in the neighborhood where they lived had a flat as was the case with the long’s family and that was detrimental to matthew because he didn’t have a wheelchair he had to crawl and that hurt his little arms and legs a lot that made him feel really bad lucas felt very bad since he couldn’t buy his little on a wheelchair in the neighborhood there was electricity water and drainage it was
All sand in addition on the outside they did not have tracks or sidewalks but a misfortune was about to happen to the long family since it was rainy time in their country it was normal for them for rainwater to run through the roof but every time the rain got stronger which caused the whole house to flood just like for the other houses that night was terrible nobody could
Sleep they only saw all their things get wet and certain parts of their house fell when it dawned the brain had already stopped thus everyone with sadness in their hearts prepared to throw away the things in their house that had been permanently damaged by the rain some people lost their houses completely and others only lost a few things as was the case with the long family matthew couldn’t help much because he
Was crawling to get around and there was debris everywhere and that could hurt him a bit so he just watched as everyone in his neighborhood with tears in their eyes they’re only things ruined by rain at the end everyone improvised a tent to spend the night matthew seeing all this wanted his parents to have a better life so he made it his goal to become an important person
A help from the mayor arrived the next day he gave each family a box full of groceries and materials so they could rebuild their houses with in that way he was a help to everyone so they turned almost everything back to normal over the years when matthew turned 18 his father was finally able to buy him a wheelchair now matthew could finally move from one place to another since his house had a flat and his neighborhood had sidewalks
Then matthew told his father that he wanted to go to college but that he would pay for it himself that they didn’t need to spend any more money on him lucas insisted however that they should at least help him with some expenses then matthew very excited applied for a half scholarship to the university in a city and with his grades he got into that school he was able to get it since he
Was a great student despite his physical handicap once accepted he had to find a job to pay for college so he went to every place that applied for jobs but none accepted him until a man who had a small store saw him he felt a little compassion and thought that life was unfair with people who had problems so he decided to accept it and from that day he gave him a job
When it came to the start of his college classes matthew thought that college would be a lot of fun that he’d meet more people and make lots of friends but it turned out to be the opposite no one wanted to talk to him they all rejected him nobody even wanted to do work groups with him he practically did group work alone and to the surprise of the teachers matthew got the best grades becoming the star student of all
And that caused the others to have even more rejection towards him sometimes for matthew it was very difficult to study and work in addition he stayed awake most of the time to be able to carry out other tasks but something unexpected was about to happen to young matthew a girl named sophie who was an exchange student since his arrival she’d never treated him badly and they both did group work together
Over time she became best friends with matthew and when they both graduated from the university both for being only the best in their class the same university recommended them to one of the most important companies in the country so that they could work there the owner of the company did not care about matthew’s condition he cared much more about his performance at work and how good a professional he was he was happy with both graduates
Over time matthew rose rapidly to become the owner’s right-hand man that man saw matthew as another son he said that he always wanted to have one but because of his youth was too focused on work and he didn’t get a chance to start his own family years later the owner passed away due to his age matthew was so hurt by his boss leaving him he was like a second father to him but the biggest surprise of his life was
About to happen one day he had an unexpected visit from a lawyer who was the former lawyer of his deceased boss this man came to give him the news that he would be the absolute owner of all the goods and companies that the old boss had matthew couldn’t believe it he thought it was some kind of dream or joke but the lawyer told him that everything was real and that he was the only heir that
His boss had left in the will so matthew hearing this screamed with excitement and hugged the lawyer very tightly the following week matthew thought that his colleagues would treat him differently but they were all happy because they saw that he would be a good boss just like the old owner over the years he became respected and important person and above all he was well known for being charitable he
Helped the people in his neighborhood rebuilt a very nice house for all of them and made a beautiful house for his parents that seemed like a dream his parents were very grateful to him and told him that it was life and god who had given them the best son they could have later two companies which were the competition of matthew’s company declared bankruptcy they were the companies of the real
Parents of him so he saw it as an opportunity to grow as a company by buying these two that had gone bankrupt so when he showed up to the owners these famous owners were speechless it was their son he had the physical features of both his face turned red with embarrassment that baby they didn’t want to have would now be the owner of their companies matthew just told them i know you guys are my parents i don’t hold any grudges
Against you but i don’t want to have any kind of relationship with people like you either i’ll just be your boss and nothing more and after this he retired everything went very well for matthew he got married to sophie and had a beautiful little girl to whom he gave all his love and because he keeps fighting so she lacks thanks for reading.
