I have cerebral palsy, which has always made it difficult for me to run and jog. Today, despite my disability, I jogged 3km (with a few walking breaks) and I couldn’t be more proud of myself! Here I am, happily post-jog!

My son’s Star Wars Wall. (No idea how long it took me to paint)

After a year of not looking after myself, finally got my hair cut and started therapy, time for a new beginning!

My wife was up until 3am making my daughter an “ice cream” birthday cake and cupcake cones.

In October I got into a nasty car accident and developed a severe fear of driving afterward, especially alone; just wanted to share that today I took my car out and drove all around today (with my stuffed toy to feel better!!!) and it’s like a WEIGHT of anxiety has been lifted

Spent the second half of 2020 homeless, NYE in a mental hospital, then caught covid the week I was released. Tonight is my first night in a proper bed in longer than I can remember, and I built it myself.

50 and finally got my Masters… Super stoked I am…

I saved this Pooh Bear I got in 1992 for my future child. Here’s my five month old girl loving him like her daddy once did.

Running has always helped with depression. Wasn’t sure how I would get through 2020 after I got injured but I found a new hobby and today I made the fountain I used to run past everyday.

My son Carlisle, he’s 18 and a college graduate. They said he’d end up in a group home for autism.

I just moved into my first very own place and am living 100% independently

Got my permanent prosthetic today! It’s fancy. Has a rotating ankle and a vacuum pump. All of that means that I can walk limp and pain free for the first time in 8 years!

I made my cat Bucky a little bed to hang on the wall. He loves it.

My daughter showed me that she’s been writing every number when she gets bored. So I dug up my very old notebook.

After 7 ankle surgeries, my last knee scooter bit the dust. Just got a new one and I can’t stop giggling while riding it! Now it just needs a name! Suggestions?

Depression was so bad I couldn’t do my dishes for months. Today was the first time both my sinks have been clean since March. I’m so fucking proud of myself. (was posted in another sub but feels more appropriate here)

In memory of my father.

Month gone by since last post. Life has got better, jobs going well and kicking my anxietys butt. My fiancee is doing better and I turn 30 this week which i never thought I’d get to. My sister loved my Dino dungerees so much she got me some Neon Zebra pattern ones now. I’m living my personal best

How to convince an airline captain to let you wear his hat and allow you to sit in his seat: 1) Be his son. 2) Surprise him by flying across the country to board the last flight of his career. (It’s also helpful if you have a brother to be the copilot and co-conspirator in planning the surprise.)
