In reply to Nesaa. Nessa, thank you so much for posting this. The freedom is a great feeling and far out ways those mixed emotions we have about using it.

This has made me smile. I use a scooter and when I could go to the mall with my daughter too I felt freedom this winter . The looks and offer to help by strangers still bring up mixed emotions, but yes I am grateful for the metal and wheels too. Love the blog.

In reply to Jody Miles. What a wonderful, honest response. Thank you for sharing. Your last comment got me good. We all had our own reactions that was devastating and life altering to us.

One thing struck a chord and that was lack of judgement. Chris made me feel so comfortable even when I was wrapped up with so many insecurities…he was always kind and real. I’m so glad that on his wedding day I told him how I felt about him. Being so extremely nervous, for he was so popular and known (for all the best reasons, I must add) I got up the courage to try to not sound goofy and corny. But I approached the line during their dollar dance on their wedding day, got in line, and when it came to my time to dance with Chris, I expressed how kind he was to me through all those years of family engagements, wrestling cousins, school locker time, etc. I thanked him for never putting me down and always being kind. (I was shaking and it still gets to me thinking back.) He replied, “Awe, Jody, your family.” I called BS, and told him he was like that to everyone. So happy I did. I have so many little memories of his kindness…and I was never in his “group”. He has inspired me to be less judgemental….and less judging has led to more love. I thank him for that. I know that at the time you were falling to pieces on the tractor seat…I was crumpled up on my bathroom floor doing that ridiculous, bouncing cry. May our moments of loss allow us to realize all of our potential gain. Thanks for sharing. –J

Carey, I am so happy to see that you are still continuing to share your story and make others take the time to think before they act. The words you speak have already touched so many lives and will continue as God leads you on this journey he has planned for you! You are a blessing to not only me, but so many others. I enjoy reading your inspirational stories and I know many others do. I pray daily for God to continue to give you strength to endure the daily challenges you have before you, especially when the weather is changing. I know how much that affects your arthritis. May God continue to protect you as you are inspiring others. Love you! : )
