In my groups I've met other people with disabilities who are married, who have full- time jobs, who own their own homes, who decide their own fates. It's fun just to be part of the group. It's a relief from being special. Life is fun and full of surprises. But I discovered I liked it.
Life is full of great things, like first kisses and chocolate.
Every day I sit down and enjoy strong coffee, real strong coffee, with milk and sugar. When I treat myself, I eat seedless grapes, cold and green. You too, have lots to look forward to. I remember playing races with my parents. I remember swings and slides and skipping and jumping.
