Keep Your Head Up

By:


I was fifteen months, a carefree happy child. . . until I fell. It was a bad fall. I landed on a rabbit of glass that goes in my eyes pretty bad for the blind. Try to save the eye, doctors sewed together the eyeball, where it was cut, leaving a big ugly scar in the middle of my eyes. The attempt failed, but my mother in all its wisdom, has found a doctor who knew that if the eye has been completely removed, my face would grow strongly distorted, so my scar, blind, gray eyes, cloudy continued to live with me. And when I grew up, the eyes in many ways guided me.

I walked with my face looking down so people would not see me ugly. Sometimes people, even strangers, made me embarrassing questions or make hurtful comments. When children play, I was always the "monster." I thought everyone looked at me with disdain, as if my appearance was my fault. I always felt like I was a monster.

But Mama told me, every time, "Keep your head up and face the world." It was a litany that I advocate. It started when I was young. She hold her and stroke stroke my hair and said, "If you keep your head up, it will go well and people will see your beautiful soul." She continued that message when I wanted to hide.

These words mean different things to me over the years. As a child, I thought mom said, "Be careful or you'll fall down or bump into something because you are not looking." As a teenager, although they tend to look down to hide my shame, I found that sometimes when he grabbed my head up and let people know me, I loved it. The words of my mother helped me begin to realize that by letting people see my face, we will recognize the intelligence and beauty behind the eyes, but could not see on the surface.

In high school, I managed both academically and socially. Even he was elected class president, but inside I felt like a monster. All I really wanted to be like everyone else. When things got really bad, I cried to my mom and she looked at me with loving eyes and say, "Raise your head high and face the world. They see the beauty inside."

When I met the man who became my life partner, we looked into his eyes and told me I was beautiful inside and out. He meant. My mother love and encouragement have been the spark that gave me the confidence to overcome my own doubts. I had the face of adversity, had problems in my head, and I learned to appreciate not only I, but to have a deep compassion for others.

"Keep your head up," have heard many times in my house. Each of my children have felt his invitation. The gift my mother gave me life in the second generation.
