His infectious laugh make him a class favorite with fellow pupils and teachers alike. Tiyo’s mum Mimi was unaware of her son’s condition through out the pregnancy. She was not even told straight away that her newborn child had no arms or legs after his birth. Mimi said, ‘The midwife said everything was normal. She said, he’s good, normal, healthy. I gave birth in the middle of the night and was told the next afternoon.’ Mimi was shocked when she first heard the news but she quickly adjusted to her son’s condition. And he acceptance is what has contributed to Tiyo’s outgoing personality. She added, ‘I was surprised. I thought he would be normal like my other children then I have the youngest in that condition. Now I feel fine, just normal about it and accepting.’ Mimi along with her husband Wawan says that looking after Tiyo is a full-time job. The four adult children of theirs live across Indonesia and therefore aren’t able to help with the daily care needs.Lack of Tiyo’s mobility means Wawan and Mimi still need to help him do everything from getting washed and dressed to feeding even though he is able to do many things by himself which include unwrapping sweet wrappers with his mouth. Mimi said, ‘It’s been a year that we get nothing.’ Fater Wawan added, ‘Taking care of Tiyo everyday, we can’t go anywhere. If we work we can’t take care of Tiyo.’ Tiyo’s school SLB Firdaus has at least taken away some of the daily bu*rden. - See more at: http://nagrikpost.com/inspirational-limbless/#sthash.6TGMUjTa.dpuf
