| This was not officially a ride. It was the wheelchair version of a pig pile. But it was a happy experience. |
I told someone recently that the best thing about a wheelchair is giving rides, and the more I thought about it, giving rides is the only happy thing about my chair.
Then I thought, maybe I am being too hard on the chair: It is, after all, a tool that allows me to work every day, to walk Claren, to interact with people on a daily basis.
It does all that and more, and I am often happy in it. But I am rarely happy because of it or because I am in it.
When I give rides, usually to nieces and nephews but also my little sister, I am energized by my chair. I revel in the power. It makes me happy.

Lazy bones, em!
I am amazed at the pic myself because the one in front is off to her second year of college and the next one back is a freshman this year. You, Matty, look just as young and handsome!
