People with disabilities are always being told what they can’t do or won’t be able to do. There are so many limitations put on them and that has to be so frustrating.

For instance, my 5 year old Christopher is unable to stand or walk without support. He uses a wheelchair for transporting him back and forth to school, and we put him in his stroller whenever we go to a grocery store, restaurant or outing. About 3 or 4 weeks ago, I decided to put him in the front of the grocery buggy to see how he’d do, and what-do-you-know, he sat up fine. As a matter of fact, he laughed and smiled while I shopped because it was new and fun for him.

This made me think about how I too had been putting limitations on what he can do. So when we decided to head to the mall on yesterday, I suggested putting him in one of those carts for kids to ride in. Another great day! News flash —-Never put limitations on anyone. The future is to be seen and experienced – not dictated.
