Darlene De Beaulieu October 15, 2016 at 1:19 PM Hello Darren,I know a lot of paraplegic people, they are my friends and mean a lot to me. I went to school with them and other people with different handicaps, I am slightly handicap myself. I get along in both worlds. I am strong. I accept me the way I am. People should to. Darren White October 15, 2016 at 1:21 PM I do agree, thank you. I am strong too, it means a lot to me that you write this. Darren.
