Something to share...

Note: This is a true story, I was in IMA Dehradun for a short time training in the year 2003, the guy about whome I wrote was Capt. Mahesh Joshi from  13 Grnd. Regiment posted in Dalhousie. We were sent for a patroling mission on 22nd June 2003, when we were attacked suddenly on the Nurpur Highway. One of us died and two got injured, Capt. Mahesh Joshi was one of them.

Hi,

Please read it guys, Hope u all like this........

This story is told about a soldier who was finally coming home after having fought in Dalhousie. He called his parents from Dharamsala base camp.
"Mom and Dad, I'm coming home, but I've a favor to ask. I have a friend I'd like to bring home with me."
"Sure," they replied, "we'd love to meet him."
"There's something you should know the son continued, "he was hurt pretty badly in the fighting. He stepped on a land mind 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 father, "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.
I 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 Dharamsala police station.
                Their son had died after falling from a bridge over river Beas, they were told. The police believed it was suicide.
                The grief-stricken parents flew to Dharamsala and were taken to the Dharamsala State Hospital 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.
                The parents in this story are like many of us. We find it easy to love those who are good-looking or fun to have around, but we don't like people who inconvenience us or make us feel uncomfortable. We would rather stay away from people who aren't as healthy, beautiful, or smart as we are.
                Thankfully, there's someone who won't treat us that way. Someone who loves us with an unconditional love that welcomes us into the forever family, regardless of how messed up we are.
