Question

I was shopping in my town, when I heard a young voice boom from across the aisle,

“Mum, come here, there is a lady of my size.” The mortified mother rushed to the boy

who looked about seven; then she turned to me apologise. I smiled and told her, “It’s

ok.” Then I looked at her wide-eyed son. He studied me from head to toe and asked,

“Why are you so little?” “It’s the way God made me. Some people are little. Some

people are tall. I’m just not going to grow any bigger.” After about five minutes

questioning he turned to his mother.

My life as a little person is filled with stories like that. I enjoy talking to children and

explaining why I look different from their parents. It has taken many years of

developing my confidence to be able to do that. It takes only one glance to see my

uniqueness. I stand three feet nine inches tall. I am an achondroplasia dwarf, which is

a person having very short limbs. When I was born, my mother told I was a dwarf. Not

knowing a lot about dwarfism my mum’s main concern was my health. Our family

doctor put her mind at ease when he told her that I would not have any major medical

concern. He was right.
