"Mermaiding"
Nadya Vasey imagination got the better of her when as a double -amputee, she went swimming near her home in Auckland, New Zealand.
A surprised little boy asked her why she had no feet....and this story which first appeared in Oprah Magazine written by Stephanie Pearson was almost similar to what happened some years back when I invited a guest who was a double amputee too.
My shocked little boy then ran far away from the house in anguish and confusion crying painfully.
He had never seen a double -amputee before 'walking' with her hands and sandles placed as pads between the fingers, while dragging her body towards the house, having been helped to disembark from a motorcycle.
