A friend showed me a video of this 5 year old Korean pianist who is blind from birth. The girl was abandoned by her birth parents but kindly adopted by this loving couple. They may not have been able to give her the best in life but by picking her little life up and loving her, they created a special child out of her.
Who wouldn't want a child that is perfect? But the fact of the matter is, nobody is. And it is simply societal methods of defining what is normal and more acceptable that we push these 'values' on to ourselves.
A blind child is deemed unworthy of being in the eyes of Ee Yun's birth parents but her adoptive parents saw the worth in her. And that gave her the hope to live on - and become even more special.
Ee Yun's (first?) appearance on Korean TV
Ee Yun with Britain's Got Talent little sweetheart Connie Talbot - together, they bring tears of love and warmth into my eyes.
