The
Soldier
A story is told about a soldier
who was finally coming home after having fought in Vietnam. He called his
parents from San Francisco. "Mom and Dad, I'm coming home, but I've a favor
to ask. I have a buddy I'd like to bring home with me."
"Sure," they replied, "bring him
along for a few days. We'd love to meet him."
"But there is something you should
know," the son continued. "He was hurt pretty badly in the fighting. He stepped
on a land mine and lost an arm and a leg. He has nowhere else to go, and
I want him to come live with us."
"I'm sorry to hear that, son.
Maybe we can help him find somewhere to live."
"No, Mom and Dad, I want him to
live with us."
"Son," said the parents, "you
don't know what you're asking. Someone with such a handicap would be a terrible
burden on us. We have our own lives to live, and we can't let something like
this interfere with our lives." We think you should just come home and forget
about this guy. He'll find a way to live on his own."
At that point, the son hung up
the phone. The parents heard nothing more from him.
A few days later, however, they
received a call from the San Francisco police sergeant. They were told that
their son had died after falling from a building. The police believed it
was suicide.
The grief-stricken parents flew
to San Francisco and were taken to the city morgue to identify the body of
their son. They recognized him, but to their horror they also discovered
something they didn't know ... their son had only one arm and one leg.
