Highschool sweethearts joined university together...
They also happened to be in the same field
Research in Human computer interaction...
Both passionate about their profession decided to wait getting hitched till they got well established in profession...
Post grads while taking up teaching hours in campus made life busy but fulfilling...
Being one of the brightest in their batch they got scholarships and full waivers along with fantastic funding for their PhD
Years passed they were amazed as to how smooth life was being together as a couple and living together for so many years, yet maintaining amazing chemistry...
They decided to get married soon after their Post Doc.
In their Early thirties they obviously didn't want to wait more to start a family...
So the good news followed soon...
Life seemed getting happier by the day working in their dream professions and being with each other...
A boy was born...
He had Muscular Dystrophy.
Ironical that they were the torch bearers of modern technology but a catastrophe had struck...
Tests revealed that both of them were carriers of that syndrome and hence it manifested in the baby.
Parenting such a child would mean that one of them had to sacrifice career for being a primary care provider for many years from then onwards
In this case since it was a boy, he opted to be a stay at home dad for their first born and she decided to go ahead to provide for their family
Taking this decision was painful for both of them but they had to be strong for the sake of their baby
The genetic reports also indicated that they cannot have another child since chances of reoccurrence of the inheritable disorder were high...
He cooked cleaned did the laundry took the child for physiotherapy filled up the groceries and gave 100 percent to the household
Scholar that he was, he made sure that he did everything with perfection even beyond his professional expertise...
Not once did he mention of missing working in his favorite field.
He in fact suggested her that they should adopt a second child
She agreed and they adopted a baby girl after two years...
It was a happy family where everyone was precious...
Now they have enrolled themselves for Research on Muscular Dystrophy...
As dramatical as it may sound, the adopted girl went on to become one of the leading scientists in the medical fraternity to do outstanding clinical research on Muscular Dystrophy...
Some tales refuse to be labelled as victimized...
The fittest aren't just the ones that survive...
Everyone does...
Well, most of them do...
And with such grace...
