Tell us about a time when you felt out of place.
On June 28th 2013 somewhere around 7:00 p.m. I believe, we, my three children, my ex-wife, and I got in the car accident. By the grace of God they all walked away for the most part completely uninjured. I however, broke my neck. That’s okay I would much rather it me than them! As a result of the broken neck I could no longer walk. It wasn’t a big deal and I accepted it for the most part and I didn’t feel strange anywhere I went, until…
I walked into the grocery store for the very first time. Walmart, it seemed like no matter where I turned everybody’s eyes were on me. Like I was an outcast, like I looked funny, like something was wrong with me. I wanted to just turn around and leave however, I didn’t turn back and I didn’t give up even though I felt completely out of place, didn’t want to be there, and almost even felt like nobody even wanted me to be there. I distinctly remember rushing my wife to hurry along so we could get the heck out of there LOL, but, the important thing is I did not just turn around and leave. I did not just give up.
It took a little while for me to get the courage to go back but, about a month and a half later I finally did. Nowadays I go in and out of everywhere no problem no issues. If I see somebody looking and they don’t stop I’ll go up and ask, can I help you? Is there something you’d like to know? If not, I’ll tell them to quit staring or take a picture cuz it lasts longer haha.
