The Good People in the World...

With everything that's going on in the world, believe it or not, there are still some good people in the world.

So, my husband and I went out on a date, BUT before we went out, I had a flare-up. Feeling guilty that I haven't been able to go out on a date with my husband for a while, I pushed on through my flare up and decided to go out for dinner.

So, we get to the restaurant, sadly all the handicap spots were taking so we ended up parking far from the building. I'm walking with my cane, huffing, and puffing, barely making it. I finally get to the door and the waiting room is PACKED! Nowhere to sit. So, I stood there for a while and finally, a young lady offers a sit next to her because she notices me leaning over barely standing.

I thank her.

We have a brief convo.... and then....

Host: Sanders party of 2!!!!!!

(So here's where the good in people happened)

I ended up getting stuck in the chair I was sitting in. Like my legs literally gave out. Not only that, but my right arm has gone completely numb from walking with a cane so hard. My husband is trying to hold our coats, and my purse aka my suitcase AND help get me out the chair all at the same time, mind you.... I am NOT skinny or lightweight. (bless his heart!)

So the lady that offered the seat next to her and another complete stranger ends up helping me out the chair. I'm not talking about a slight lift, they HELPED ME OUT THE CHAIR and fixed my clothes on the way up. Helping pull down my shirt cause I'm pretty sure I was flashing the innocent. 😡

Now, I know it doesn't seem like much, but being disabled in America is NOT EASY. We lack so much support from not only the government, but some of us face neglect from our jobs, family, and friends, so the fact that two complete strangers went out of there way to assist me, it meant a lot.

I couldn't thank them enough, and I probably thanked them more than they wanted, but I just appreciate people that can help people like myself because I know if I was able-bodied, I would do the exact same thing.
