What makes a girl cry


It's funny what makes a girl cry. As always, Linda cries big when she cries. Today it happened very unexpectedly while she was thinking about moving. When she pictured the move, she realized that she will have to be watching rather than doing. It's such a big life moment, and she has to be a spectator but not an actor.

We talked about it later this evening, and I encouraged her to think of the move as a big gift. People have been wanting to do things to help, but they don't know what they can do. Here is something that people can do for her, and they want to. It made her feel better.

It's been a long time since she has felt disabled. It's funny how quickly the realization can come crashing back though.
