Reflecting on Bravery
Reflecting on Bravery
I have lived long enough to understand that the face a
person presents to the world is not always a true reflection of what is felt
inside. We all have our heroes and there are many examples of brave people or
actions. Having completed the book, ‘Life of Roy’ and been fortunate to have it
published I am left reflecting on the concept of bravery.
‘Life of Roy’ is both funny and moving. Roy lost his first
leg aged six years and his second leg at twenty-one. He had little schooling
and walked with artificial legs, refusing to use a wheelchair until he was
forty-six. Roy had a full and happy life, made his own decisions and helped
those less fortunate than himself. Everyone would regard Roy as a brave man and
marvel at how he managed his disability. He lived in an age where there was no
counselling provided for the traumatic events he went through, and this makes
his story all the more remarkable. This book will make you laugh and move you.
‘Life of Roy’, as told through conversations with Richard
Dunn is published by Daisa.co publishers and is available from Richard Dunn at
