My brother has Vitiligo. It started on his hands around the thumb area about 7 years ago and he didnt have a clue what it was, he put it down to just another symptom of his diabetis (type 1) then when Micheal 'died' of course we then all realised the skin condition my brother had. A doctor has since confirmed it and it has now spread to my brothers face, under and around his eyes. I know this condition is very devastating for people of the African/Asian race, but its just as devastating for Europians too. Too many people have taken the micky out of my brother over the years, for wearing gloves in the hight of summer, not being able to wash his hands in very hot water, or being carefull about what rash using washing products might cause, even going as far as to include Micheal, like saying to my brother 'shamon' before laughing at his hands. I just wanted to point this out becouse even nearly 8 months on most people seem to STLL be ignorent to the distress that this illness causes sufferes.As for Omar, he hasnt got any sign of Vitiligo, as anyone on this board who knows or has a loved one who suffers from this illness will confirm.
@2good2btrue the last thing i wanted was to make you feel was judgemental andi thank you for starting this thread because it gave me the oppertunity to get pent up feelings of my chest @ Rita, thank you for sharing also, i have changed drastically since 25th June, i used to be quite blunt to the point of sarcastic. The one thing MJ has taught me is tollerance. Now rather than defend i try to educate but some people just wont accept 'diffrent' as 'normal'I feel when that when as families we are not blessed with what society calls 'normal' then we end up the lucky ones, we build up unique bonds because of the suffering you watch your loved ones go through. To know true love, be it for anyone, is to love a persons spirit not their vessel (cant think of a better word) i think we are the lucky ones, the 'normal' ones, because in todays stereotypicall, materialistic world, it's the 'Normal' no flaws people that i pity the most, in thier ignorence. I feel that to be truley alive is to be educated and prepared to listen to others and feel what they feel. When you live in ignorance, your soul and spirit isnt truley living... sorry for being so deep here lol i have trouble trying to explain what i really mean. I hope everyone gets what im trying to say
