I always think my daughter Kendall is the best-that's just what parents do.When she was only three,she sang for the people,like a little angel.
When Kendall was five,we noticed that she sometimes had a tic(面部抽搐).When the problem got worse,we look her from doctor to doctor.During the treatment,Kendall continue to sing.Surprisingly,her tics disappeared when she sang.When Kendall was sixteen.jye.ai thought she would be cured soon.However,a terrible thing happened.
At a party,Kendall jumped on a friend for a piggy back ride.He bent lower than she expected,and she jumped higher than he expected.Kendall flew over his back and landed on the floor-on her neck.She was rushed to hospital, paralyzed from the neck down.She couldn't move.But her biggest worry wasn't whether she would walk again,but was whether she could try out for a show called American Idol.
As the days went on,feeling on her left side returned,but she was still paralyzed on the right.We weren't sure how much of her movement would come back.A friend brought a microphone(麦克)and put it on her bed.Every day,Kendall tried hard to pick it up.It was more important for her to pick up that microphone than a spoon or fork.
Sometimes she had to bite a tooth brush to take her mind off the pain.We all cried because of the pain we saw.But on the day,only three months after her accident,we cried full of joy when she sang,though she didn't enter the Top 24 of American Idol.
When she was a little girl,she asked me why it was she that had tics.My heart hurt,but I told her,"Kendall,you have a pure heart,a fantastic voice,a strong mind.And you are a beautiful presence(存在)".
