Unbelievable.

Unfortunately it's a story that hits very close to home with me. My wife has cerebral palsy. She uses crutches to be able to get around. When she was about ten her family went to a baseball game at the Astrodome. Her mom and dad took her sisters in with them and left my (future) wife in the car...summertime...Houston heat. The next summer they went to Calsbad caverns...same story ...left her in the car while the rest of family went to see the wonders of carlsbad caverns. I've spent the last 28 years married to this fine lady and she is the light of my life. One of the first trips we ever made together was to the Astrodome...she had never seen the inside of it until then. Thanks for posting this story EEExtremist.

That's a horrible story about your wife! Does she even speak to her family anymore?

God bless you! My sister is paralyzed and we never went anywhere she could not get to. It was sometimes hard but my parents made sure she could be carried or wheeled to see what the rest of us were getting to see (1950s). Your wife sounds like a wonderfully forgiving person.
