One thing that has changed is how I navigate the winter holiday season with Andrew. As an infant and even as a toddler, celebrating the holidays was pretty much typical. Gift giving and holiday celebrations weren't a challenge during those early years. Andrew's abilities weren't as delayed then. Comforting a crying baby during large family gatherings was just what many new parents experienced. Time with family, gift giving, and establishing our own family traditions was how those early years flowed.

I have compiled a list of the best airlines for traveling as a wheelchair user. Although no airline can guarantee that incidents won't occur, some have a better rating of overall care for not only the wheelchair, but also the disabled passenger.

Not knowing much about disability prior to my accident, I had a lot to learn. I had to decide which of my interests I could adapt to fit my new lifestyle, which things I had to let go of, and which things I may be interested in now that I hadn't been before. It was when I came to terms with this that I began to build a new life – a new life that I've come to love.
