Next time you feel like *****ing and moaning about insignificant things (myself included), just look at this kids life. His parents died of AIDS and he has HIV so no body else wants anything to do When you think you have it bad, there's always someone who has it worse. His only friend is his dog. This boy gathers firewood, cooks, baths and studies for himself.
Someone sent me this this morning.
Jeezus this made me cry.
The lonely life of a six-year-old boy
6-Year-Old AIDS Orphan A-Long Lives Alone In Guangxi – chinaSMACK
6 Year Old Chinese Boy Lives Alone
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Guangxi 6-year-old AIDS orphan lives alone, eats rice and vegetables without oil or salt yet still eats with relish
In your childhood, what were you doing? Begging daddy to buy a toy, being pressed by mommy to learn a foreign language, taking the pocket change that grandma secretly gave you, sharing the bubblegum you just bought with your friends… When you couldn’t get what you wanted, did you sigh like a little adult: “It sucks being a child!” However, A-Long wouldn’t. By himself, he washes his laundry and makes his meals. Alone, he feeds the chickens and raises the dog. Alone, he studies and learns to read. Alone, he goes to sleep. A-Long never feels it sucks being himself, even though he is only 6-years-old this year.
