63 Years

When you have a disability you are treated like a child. Most people who do not have a disability understand what it’s like to have a disability. It is challenging, it is going through a lot of judgement by people who misunderstand you. You are not allowed to think for yourself because people think your decisions are not for you. You will never live your dreams. It is a big slap on the face. Especially family  members who don’t believe you can stand on your own.

The only person who believed in me was my husband. Also my grandmother. I miss her. When you are not heard. Your life gets much harder.

I am now 63 and I don’t listen to my family. They are out of my life. Even my mother-in-law too. That stress is gone. I have to struggle on my own, but I am doing what I want to do. It took me 63 years, and I never gave up the fight. Just  because you have a disability doesn’t mean you have to stop believing in your dreams. Being an adult means you have independence, but a little guidance goes a long way.

Being an adult is not easy, but having the inner strength helps along my journey. My kids give me strength too. Love is key to success. Especially when it comes from the heart, and not your pocket book. Having a disability doesn’t mean you will fail. It just means you have to work harder to reach your goals.
