It is hard to feel sorry for yourself when you seen your mother walk her wheelchair up a curb or the front steps without any aid. She was a speed demon and fun to be with and I never got the chance to really thank her for all her wisdom and support that saw me through all my accomplishments before she passed. Thanks to her “Get er DONE” attitude I take each problem, Identify, Adapt, and Overcome!
It’s more fun on the positive side of life and worth the look on your dad’s face at that moment he finds out that his slippers are full of his shaving cream! :woohoo: :rofl:
