Ugh.
Why is it that EVERYDAY when I am leaving Hannah's school NOBODY ever tries to help me get the door? I have a little girl in a wheelchair for goodness sake and there are double doors which are very heavy....AND each day there are about 20 people standing around the door who not only don't help but STARE at Hannah while watching me struggle. It really hacks me off! I am a big girl, I can get the job done, but has anyone ever heard of being courteous or compassionate? Oh, and by the way this school that she goes to is known for teaching the children such wonderful manners that when they go to middle school the teachers automatically know what elementary they came from. Anytime I am going to a door and kids are around they never ever fail to open the door....I have even had kids sprint to beat me to the door just so that they can be helpful...and not just for me for everyone. So, how did the parents of these wonderful kids turn out so bad and why isn't there a manners class for them? I looked at a woman yesterday and said "God forbid you help me" because she was waiting for me to get thru so that she could go thru but still didn't help! I know that I maybe shouldn't have said that but I snapped and I guess I am just a little sensitive to the situation. Maybe I am a little too sensitive but it is the little things in life that make a difference and if people would just take two seconds to help somebody else...maybe the next person would do the same and the next and so on. ugh... And don't stare!!! That is worse!!!! Don't stare! Don't stare! Don't stare! The next person that stares I am going to stare back. No I won't. i need to be the bigger person. What would Jesus do? I need to think of that. He would do nothing but love them.....I am so far from being like Jesus....but I am going to try a little harder.

The staring is the worst! Every time I take Fletcher to a doctor's appointment people stare like they've never seen anyone different in their entire lives! I know exactly what you're talking about. Several times I have said very loudly, "he's a person just like you, you don't have to stare at him!" I don't know how to make the situation better, I wish I did because I would do whatever it takes to have people act like compassionate, caring people! So, I say UGH with you! And I probably should try to be more like Jesus, too!
