My husband took my kids to the park the other day. While they were there, there was one other boy with his mom. If you don’t know, both of my boys have a very rare form of muscular dystrophy, and have a variety of medical equipment for each of them. The boy at the park

As much as I wish I could successfully ignore things, as much as I wish I could just…wish the pain away, sometimes you just can’t. Sometimes shit just sucks and there’s really not much anyone can do about it. That’s where I’m at now. Right now in my life, shit just plain old sucks. And
