Daniel:

Look at the cripple!

That was my first meeting with Simon. How kids are with seven years, nasty, and offensive. Like me when I was a kid.

As Simons Mother called my parents at home I got house arrest for the next two weeks and I  had to write long report about handicapped kids. I had to apologize to Simon.

After what happened I played with Simon very often and we met each other. Then they took him from our school our friendship got just better. I visited him every afternoon. I haven’t noticed his handicap anymore. We got older and his Mother told me what the meaning of his disease was.

I got a Girl friend and I noticed Simons reaction:,,Why do you have a Girl friend and I don’t?”

I couldn’t give him an answer and the new problems started. I visited Simon with my Girl friends.I think he supressed his question. He got a Girl friend until few weeks ago and I think it’s not because of his look it’s but how he creates his life.

Simon is my best Friend and I have no problems to change five health Friends against him. Ok, maybe many people say that, but after 13 years I think I am allowed to say that.
