No matter how much they do, it's never easy

Mom said this as we were pushing my wheelchair through the gravel at the wildlife refuge where my uncle/godfather is in charge.

They were celebrating a bunch of things at the refuge, and I went to see all the accessibility features they added. And they added a lot.

Down at the fishing pier, every other station is wheelchair height. There are two ramps leading into their office. All the trails are packed-down gravel.

The gravel would probably be fine if it had rained recently, but it was dusty and my wheels sank into it.

The refuge has done so much to make people in wheelchairs welcome, and it is still so, so hard for me.
