My journey from utter helplessness to independence

Through my eyes and ears

Until you’ve seen things through people’s eyes and heard things through their ears you’ll never understand – that’s what I’ve realized

Yesterday after realizing that until you’ve seen things through people’s eyes and heard things through their ears you’ll never understand I wrote the following Facebook post:

Through my eyes and ears

A stare from an adult is a reminder that to some of the world i’m still a circus-freak (i don’t see myself that way but some don’t agree)

“I’ll pray for you” = “You’re broken and need fixing”

Stairs (without an elevator/ramp as an alternative ) is my worst nightmare and greatest barrier to entry everywhere

My wheelchair = my way of getting from A to B it is NOT THE DEFINITION OF ME

Grief and Time

Time passes quickly and slowly at the same time –that’s what I’ve realized.

It’s 7 : 50 PM on day 3219 since I started blogging and I managed to pray, read Bible and work on my 28 For 28 Campaign benefiting charity:water  – Anon donated $28  we’ve now raised $3 804 of $28 000 with 77 days to go

This past week has gone by so quickly and slowly at the same time grief distorts time

Follow your instincts – that’s my message to the world

A few months ago I was somewhere with people I loved and something deep inside me said take a picture but I didn’t want to be weird so I ignored that voice and today I regret it because one of the people who would have been in the picture has since sadly passed away. Follow your instincts!
