The day I was born was a great joy and happiness to my parents and grandparents because I am the first offspring of their generation yet there was full of anxiety and weariness in their faces, when they saw my left crab-footed leg. My grandfather, Aurelio V. Cahoy Sr., consulted this hazardous problem to an orthopedic specialist, Dr. Nestor Sison, who happened to be one of the consulting medical staff in the national athletic delegation of Region X. My grandfather was also the regional training director of the said delegation.
When my grandfather arrived from the Palarong Pambansa, last March 1994, he immediately accompanied our family with my grandmother to Maria Reyna Hospital where the clinic of Dr. Sison is located. I was four weeks old at that time, when I met the friendly face of my physician. although I was so innocent with delicate body, I felt the painfulness of my broken bone when it was stretched forcibly by the doctor. I was terribly crying for helped when he cemented my broken crab foot and wrapped it with a plaster cast.
He ordered an iron shoes for me to be used until my casted foot will returned to its normal position when my grandparents accompanied me for the check-up, I was crying hard every time I saw the face of Dr. Sison. I felt the phobia of painfulness I suffered much.
Every time I see the shoes made of iron, that was preserved by my mother, I could still remember the uncomfortable heavy weight, the uneasiness of wearing it.
To this time, I can't forget the heroic deeds of my grandpa, Aurelio V. Cahoy Sr., who was so concern of my future. With his great courage and exceptional noble quality of being my grandpa, I am what I am now. If not of his untiring support maybe today, I'll be a desperate person who could not walk normally. Thank you very much Tatay. If not of your assertive effort, I'll be walking with difficulty. You are a hero for me and you will be always in my heart.
