Thanks for posting this HOS. I'm kinda going through some things right now, and feeling sorry for myself when I shouldn't. This helped. Yeah, i dropped a tear or two.
There's a great book called "Some crawl and never walk" written by a woman who also did not have any arms and legs.
"Harrington was born with Arthrogryposis. In 1976, she won the right to raise her own daughter when she demonstrated in court how she could change a diaper using only her mouth."
