"Tonight: I cry.
Why?

Is it because...

my legs are lame,
my "void" are annoyingly out of my control,
my lower back is in pain with most movement,
my hair is abandoning its relationship with my scalp,
my swollen feet resemble something like water balloons,
I have to reposition my wheelchair 4 times before I can reach something a foot in front of me,
my face looks like a cherry tomato,
(maybe not as red as I've been saying but it is pudgy!),
my taste buds are fickle,
my right eye needs to be patched at night so it doesn't dry out,
my arms struggle to lift my 110lb body,
most of my daily activity requires someones assistance?

Tonight I cry because I'm human
& in my humanity I still know that I'm created in the image of Jesus."
