Today is Blogging Against Disabilism day, where bloggers are encouraged to:
…write about disability and rail against the discrimination that disabled people continue to face…
Thing is, I do that most of the time anyway :o)
What I want to show you today is how my days with ‘disability’ are spent. I would like people to remember that disability (or ability) is what it is, neither wrong nor right but a state of being that requires its own input and offers its own compensations. We have changed so much since disability entered our lives. Some of it good, some of it bad. Such is life.
However, what has not changed and never will is that I am proud beyond measure of Megan, my disabled daughter. I am also proud beyond measure of my non-disabled children and they are all carried in my heart at all times, my fierce flame of pride and love in equal measure. I want nothing from them except that they are happy and confident and learn to care for each other. The fact that one of them is disabled is meaningless to me in that respect. She is not the same as others but then again – neither am I. No better, no worse, just….different.
