Your Mama’s In A Wheelchair 

You came home crying one day because a boy at school insulted you —said something “bad” about your mama. Tears of anger and hurt rolled down your little boy face when you explained the boy had said that your mama’s in a wheelchair, and you punched him for saying that, I guess, because in your […]

Holiday Traditions: Reflections from a Disabled Mother

My family has always been big on Christmas. I started shopping in the middle of October this year. I am officially a Christmas freak! I love the lights, the music, and the nog! Try not to the judge me for putting up the tree before Thanksgiving, but I have to strategize where the “parking space” […]

The Gifts of My Disability

It’s the holiday season, bringing with it, its beautiful music, glittering trees and wonderfully wrapped presents.

However, what many people don’t understand […]

Freedom with the Firefly: Off-Road Parenting with a Disability

Freedom with the Firefly: Off-Road Parenting with a Disability

The Firefly, made by Rio Mobility, lifts up the front wheels of a manual wheelchair to transform it to a three-wheeled chair pulled by an electric motor. I’ve had the Firefly for a little over a month. It was a significant investment for our family. I wish insurance would cover products like this.  Our decision […]

Back to School When School is Done

September 14, 2017 by Carla Charter Leave a Comment

Back to School When School is Done

This is it, the first time in 27 years for us. A year with no back-to-school rushes, no watching for sales, no picking out school clothes or visiting several stores to find the perfect backpack. There will be no lunches to pack and no waiting for vans to arrive. My youngest graduated in May, so […]
