There is a vast, vast difference living in the well-off countryside, the bucolic countryside, of beautiful sunsets and fond remembrances Š and living in the poor countryside, stuck in a country where white bread wrappers blow in the wind and get snagged by low branches; And where used pampers litt

Akua, I suppose that it might be hard for some to contemplate a person's situation without actually "living in their shoes" so to speak. Unfortunately, there are those that don't realize that there is another way of life that some live, that is different from their own. It is apparent then, th

I completely agree. Lack of money and the fact that you are dependent on other people is what makes it impossible to make changes in your life. Most of us are in the same boat, we are a prisoner of our limitations. That is why even though it was the hardest thing I have ever done is move 125 mil

Dear Akua, I humbly apologize for my question that seems to have hurt you so deeply. It's so sad to think of you as stuck and so disabled.  It would make me happy to say something, anything that would ease your problem, but apparently, you are stuck and nothing can be done about it. Sadly, R

I think of Doc often, it has been so long since he passed and it was such an unnecessary passing. I am sure he is at peace now, his pain made him a bit of a pain . I have no clue how to reach his sons, they emailed me for a bit after he died. Lori From: Barbara H. Sent: Sunday, April 01, 2012

This reads like a poem, Dalton!!! You give the picture images that encapsulate the facts. Throughout my many discussions and meetings on the transportation issue here, I like to pull out as to how the suicide rate here is higher than in New York City… No one has to think about the disabled beca
