Rich – Rich's Ride

Acceptance?

“What finally helped you accept your injury?” I took a deep breath. I’ve answered that question lots of times, but I never want to offer what sounds like a simplistic platitude. “It’s a lifelong process,” I began, “but I can point to where it started. “A good friend came to visit me a few months […]
