Life sucks. It really does. I feel deeply for this family and what they must endure. I wish the photographer would have been a little more astute and placed the wheelchair in the center of the photo and not off to the side. But he didn’t.

I would also like it if people wouldn’t point at him as he goes by in the mall, but they do and will. I would also like it if people didn’t speak in front of him as if he isn’t there or speak to him as if he can’t understand them. I know those things happen as well.

I’ve been around more than a few people with disabilities in my like so I know that’s how people treat them. It sucks. And for parents of children with disabilities, they hurt for their kids when it happens.

But you put the picture up anyway and watch him smile. He will realize that you are pleased enough with him that you put it up even if someone didn’t treat him right.

I’m glad I’m not the only person who feels this way.

Thank you.
