That’s life. My life.

Here is something I wrote in 2006 and never published.

It's short and sweet and tells why I wouldn't change my paralysis.

I have been a paraplegic since 1999. I won't lie. I hate it. It sucks, 

but I am not going to let this define who I am or tell me what I can 

and can't do. I am changed, but still the same. I have the same dreams. 

I am married and a mommy. My son and husband are the best things 

that ever happened to me and no one can gurantee that they would be who 

they are if this hadn't happened to me. You can say I can't be sure of

 that, I love what I have so much, can't take that chance. I can't think

about how things might have been. There is no way they could ever have 

come even close to being this wonderful.

Yes, I am stuck in this chair forever. I will never walk, dance or feel 

again. I've gotten over it. I've moved on.

Yes, that's life. 

My life.
