With A Little Help From My Friends

When Elizabeth Fleming was born in difficult circumstance, it was decided that she was dead. She was taken to the mortuary. It was only when the doctor when to certify her death that he noticed a tiny movement. This is the inspiring story of a life that almost didn't happen, a life spent overcoming the difficulties caused by Cerebral Palsy and by people's reactions to disability. **************************************** 'I often thought of writing about my life and the difficulties my family and I have had to face. There was no one around to ask how my disability would affect things. I felt bitter against the world. Why me? Why not somebody else? You know, if I had the chance to go back now, I wouldn't change a thing. I'd like to take out my bad parts, but no one's perfect. I've always known that I'm very lucky to have had such a loving family and such very good friends and I'd like to thank them for all they've done to shape me into who I am today.'
