Arrow, the longer I'm around the more I realize that my disability is minor compared to many others....I just need to be thankful for what I can do and not dwell on what I can't...
Bad part of it is, most will not understand this until they attend one of these events and sees the smiles and has a moment to reflect on what is going on. With what I've went through with my dad and especially my wife it really draws a whole other aspect to living. Even my wife would tell you 8 months ago when she couldn't use her right side at all that it could be worse. After being through the worse it really does open your eyes that it could be worse. Folks take way too much in this temporary life for granted from being able to hold a nail in one hand and swing a hammer in the other to being able to speak just to day I love you.
You never know how good you have it until you don't have it. I feel blessed every day!
