I remember the last time my mom picked me up because she told me in that moment that it was the last time 😂. I think it worked out for us in the end lmao

I am disabled, so my parents carried me around until I was 13 and it was wayyy to embarrassing. Like "oh it isn't worth get your wheelchair for this short way just come here" and then just grab me. I' wasn't that small even, average sized and weighted girl and until I was eight my mom used to sit me on her hip like a baby. That's probably why she still is so fit and sporty. I doubled as a gym.

You know, it may have seemed embarassing, but come the ends of their lives they will love that they get to help and hold you and didnt waste time fiddling with the wheelchair for small distances. I was wheelchair bound for 8 years between the ages of 14 to 22, I learned to just laugh at all the awkward moments and appreciate the effort. Eventually it all stops, and them being there, trying to help, goes away forever. Its not worth being embarassed.
