    The problem is not unique to women in wheelchairs. I am a 46-year-old man with cerebral palsy in a wheelchair. Throughout my life, I have been treated like an alien when it comes to matters of the heart. I was lucky enough to find a woman who I thought would share her life with me, but apparently I wasn’t good enough for her. She was also in a wheelchair and left me after five years of marriage. Sad as it is, this society seems too caught up in physical perfection. If you don’t fit in (i.e, look like Brad Pitt or Rebecca Romajn-Stamos), then it seems you’re out of luck. One of the things that I’ve always heard is to have a positive outlook on yourself and the world about you. Concentrate on your inner self. You’ve got to love yourself before others will love you. Best of luck to you.

    One thing to realize is that disabled people are basically like other people. As a person in a wheelchair myself, I prefer a sales clerk to approach me only when I seek help in locating or accessing a particular item that I’m interested in purchasing. Just make yourself available to the customer if he/she needs assistance.

    I struggle daily with the same dilemma. I was a history major in college and enjoy studying about past and present societies. There are many questions I have about Christianity and what happens to the soul after death. I firmly believe in God ( I like to believe that there is a purpose in my life), but there are some facets to Christianity I just cannot accept. I also believe in the concept of individualism—therefore, it’s up to each person to make his choice.
