Re: Handicap Parking Abusers: Part 2, Top 10 Excuses

grimeysl — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 21:18:31 GMT

I noticed on the last episode of Jon and Kate plus eight their van was parked in handicapped parking. Do they have a handicapped parking permit? If they do have a handicapped permit. Why? If not why did Jon and Kate parked in handicapped parking. No excuse to park there even it’s just for a minute.

Tammy Sounds like you went through the fire early in your life but you have come out stronger and more mature and more understanding of yourself and your strengths. You have way more than your school chums. Yeah you may not have the same things but your have a fulfilling life and you never know who or what is coming around that next corner. sure you made different choices based on your disability but whose to say that some of them wouldn't have been made anyway. I don't feel you're "behind" anyone but leading the way in your own life. Good luck and blessings

Hi Tammy......I found your message especially touching.........most probably because I'm a nurse.........yes, I haven't practiced for almost 40 years ......but I couldn't help but think as you were describing how this wonderful nurse treated you.............well......what a wonderful testemonial to her.......to the meaning of her life........and how very special she was.........I'd be thrilled to be remembered with such affection and respect.........you're right........all of us have many, many things to be thankful for.........and this, if no other, is the time to do it...............thanks for the tender reminder...............peace and love........Norma

Tammy, You have a good attitude that will probably take you far. There is time to adopt, and won't that be fun? There is still time to get into nursing if you are still interested. You could bring a unique perspective to the profession. Good luck and remember the roses.

I think yours was a very honest discussion of the things you feel you missed........and I think that takes courage......for which I applaud you.I became disabled at the age of 40......had three small children and was three years into a second marriage.........the marriage didn't survive it.......but my three kids are all marred now......with kids of their own.......and we've all discussed the stresses of how our lives changed so drastically......but also......how each of us found an inner strength......an inner spirit......that to this day....has served us in ways that without having to deal with the accident......and ll it's inherent problems..........none of us would have discoveed the strengths that serve us so well......now...........I think over time.......you'll see the same thing in yourself...........at least.....I hope so........thanks for your honesty..........peace and love.......Norma

I don't know if i did or not . I was stricken a week before my third birthday . I do know that when i look at pictures of me without polio i don't see myself . I don't think i missed out i just did things my way . What is the better of the two evil , never having it at all , or to have and lose it all ? Lorraine { rainey826 } xo
