LJ Idol Season 11: Feckless
When you are disabled, you have to develop a thick skin, because people will make the worst assumptions about you.

hey wow life goes on
Finally got in touch with Mom. Yay. Asking Mike about that caused him to have a mini-meltdown at me, but it opened the gates for some good conversation and that was helpful on both sides, I hope. He is fine with me not coming up, and is focusing on trying to be there for his mom-in-law. (Sis-in-law, Debbie, had a brother who died in '09. To ( Read more... )
