My mom lived her life this way. . .



Reading this story reminded me of my mom. She never stopped living. My dad traded in the car for a van that my mom's wheelchair could be lifted into and off they went. Toward the final years of my mom's life my parents moved to Florida. The warmth was better for her. Even though she was confined to the wheelchair and had limited range of motion, she still went off shopping and played cards with her friends. She didn't complain. She lived the life that was given her. This message is an important one.  One that I have passed on to my children. Don't be afraid to live life and happiness will find you.
