Born to the Leper Messiah

Song from a Metallica Album... they don't rock as they use to anymore.
A few months ago, during the fasting month, I came back from Terwih prayers and saw a man lying down on the bottom of my staircase. He couldn't get up apparently. Since I know where he lives,he happen to be my neighbour, I knocked onto the door of his house and ask his brother to bring him up. I helped him of course and thankfully he just lived 2 floors below me.
Two nights ago I came back with my wife and I saw him again lying on the floor of my flat. His sister was nearby asleep in the car. It seemed that his sister, was waiting for a parking lot while he tried to go back on his own and because she waited too long, she dozed off unaware that his brother fell down. While I helped her put him on the wheelchair I asked her what was wrong with him. " Parkison Disease", she said. Poor guy. It must have been hard living a life like that. Not only that, for brothers and sisters to take care of him, must have even be harder. We all should be thankful that God give us good health.
