The story of Alan Omilian was extraordinary and different. His disabilities did not obstruct him to have a colorful childhood and meeting friends along the way. The respect that I have for Bob and his wife is beyond imaginable for they have endured one of the most difficult tasks of being a parent. I thank Bob for sharing his story with the world, and I would like him to know that there are people rooting for him to live his life to the fullest just like what Alan wants for him.
The first step of your journey to happiness and contentment is acceptance of your fate. For Bob and his family, they accepted their fate willingly into their minds and souls. They never compared their son, Alan, to other normal children that the majority of parents have.
As I eagerly read No Fear, No Doubt, No Regret, several memories in my life came flashing to my eyes. There are moments in my life that I blame the heavens for all the trials that I was facing back then. But then slowly, I learned how to deal with it and go with its flow. Your mindset is stronger than your physical abilities. Your mind can trick you many times into giving up but you should consider why you are doing your best to survive in the first place.
