Some people are amazing. Her parents certainly sound like they are.

4 years ago I accidentally ran a red light and hit an older couple. The man driving was a judge. He almost died. He spent a long time in the hospital having surgeries. He was too broken to take care of his older mother that lived with him, so she was sent off to live in a nursing home. They also have to spend half the year traveling to a warmer climate now since the cold weather is rough on his artificial hip.

This was around the same time I won a house in a raffle.

Rather than sue me for my new house like most people would, my first contact with this couple was when the wife who was also in the car stopped by my house unexpectedly to drop off a house warming present.

She said if she would have sued me, we both would have lost. She also said, the fact that I kept sending flowers to the hospital apologizing and taking responsibility heavily weighed in on their decision to not ruin me. This of course went against the advice of every friend and lawyer who told me not to send flowers as it would be an admission of guilt.

It's inspiring to even know people like this. There are still amazing people in this world.

Is it more challenging getting through the day as a black person or with cerebral palsy?

What can someone across the world do to help people in Kenya? I fund loans on Kiva from time to time, but is there something more effective and direct someone can do to help put food or clothes into the hands of someone who may be living in poverty?

This is exactly what happened to me.

My girlfriend pretty much forced me to go to my first show and I was rather annoyed. It was Corteo. Holy shit. Within a couple minutes I was in my own world. It was the most surreal thing I've ever seen. I've since seen Dralion.

I try to get my friends and family to go see shows whenever I can.

This shit blew my mind when I saw it live: Dralion - Trampo-Wall

This guy warming up on the wall is pretty awesome.
