You said it ever so well! We all are 'damaged' in some way... but we all have something special that makes us unique. Who wants to be lost in a herd of sheep anyway. Excellent write, sweetie.

Karla I know exactly what you are saying...people can be so rude to the handicapped...gosh when my daughter and I go to the mall with my grandchild and a stroller we get shunned...people seem to hate children and strollers too...it seems we are all in their way...what a pity...this was so heartfelt Karla...You are you....and just as good as anyone else...don't ever forget that...God bless....floria

Another splendid meaningful write Karla! You're on a roll;-)! God allows us to be afflicted on this earth within natures events,such as weather, accidents etc. besides those that Satan causes, due to our not following Gods will, but doing our own.When we follow our own paths we are susceptible all the worlds problems.If God had to intervene in everyones life on earth there would be no reason for salvation and the better world to come...

Better than before. You hit the nail on the head. Walk a mile in my shoes (I have no feet) and you will finally see.

((((KARLA))) the disability lies in the attitudes of these as*holes, I'm sorry, I know that you don't like this sort of language, but hell we're all disabled in one way or another. Sending much love to you!

Love, Janet xoxoxoxo

Karla, in my distant past, I transported folks with all types of disabilities, in wheelchairs and on transport ambulances, & I tried to treat them with the same respect I would want to be treated with...this is a very well written & profound statement of truths that any organization that deals with the disabled should use in their group as a sort of statement...thanks, ED

WOW! a powerful and eloquently stated poem that exudes with pure emotion and the feelings ALL people with disabilities share. i know how you feel, and i feel this way, at times, myself. being disabled in a nondisabled world is NOT easy, but we have to learn to accept our disabilities and not let others govern us or how we should live our lives. we are as much people as the "normal ones", those who don't have disabilities (but then, what IS "normal"??), and we deserve as much of a chance to succeed in life as anyone else! good message contained in this write; thanks for opening the eyes of those who may not understand what it is like to "BE DISABLED". (((HUGS))) and much love, your twin, karen lynn. :D BRAVA for a courageous write!
