• 3．After being born at the end of 1932，Mr Cameron Senior suffered a lot with both legs shortened below the knee and his feet twisted.He went under numerous operations to ease his pain，and eventually both limbs（下肢） had to be cut off.But despite his disability and later losing the sight in one eye，Mr Cameron Senior still gained a successful career as a stockbroker（股票经纪人）．
     After moving to England from Scotland as a child，he married Mary and the couple raised four children at the family home in Peasemore，Berks.
     In an interview with The Daily Telegraph two years ago，the Tory leader described the experience of growing up with a father with a disability.He told how once they were on holiday in Cornwall，he overheard someone rudely saying："That guy's wearing funny boots." Mr Cameron（英国前任首相卡梅伦） said he thought to himself，"That's odd，no one ever says that."
     In an ITV interview before the general election，Mr Cameron said of his father，"He's an amazingly brave man because he was born with no heels—quite a disability.But the glass with him was half-full ，normally with something alcoholic，I think I got my sense of optimism from him."
     Mr Cameron also appeared with his parents at an event and said that they understood his idea for "A Big Society"．
     "They showed me how a big society could work every day I was growing up，" he said，"I know what are my responsibilities." Mr Cameron Senior's disability is not thought to have played any part in his death aged 77.Friends said he was "so proud" to see his son become Prime Minister in May，and had visited 10 Downing Street and Chequers.However ，the family's various holiday plans meant that he did not get to meet his latest granddaughter Florence，who was delivered to the PM's wife Samantha last month.
