Comment on Question of the Week: Who Inspires You? by Jpartain89

I have a bit of a list of people that inspire me.

The number one has to be my Grandfather, David. He truly was one of the greatest, happiest, most loving men that graced this earth. Him and my grandmother were married 50 1/2 years before passing last year. Met at 14, married at 18 and had 3 kids and 4 grandkids. He and my gma never fought, he was rarely angry – so when he was you crapped yourself – and he truly showed us how to love. He’s the main reason I strive to be as amazing as I can be.

my #2 has to be my husband. The unconditional love he gives me is truly phenominal, and I’m grateful to give it back.

[...] what he wants – including building his own office furniture, an entire movie set, and even directing a feature film. If it seems I’m giving him a lot of praise lately, it’s because he deserves [...]

BTW, Chuck, that’s awesome about your grand-niece. Sounds like she was surrounded by the right people!

Margaret – thanks for sharing! You’re right – the perceptions are definitely limiting.

Great Article. Just because a person has a disability it does not mean we’re dead. I live with things all the time, it may take a bit more work and some more trials but still we get it done. Just like Chuck says there’s just not saying I can’t in a person’s vocabulary, you take what you have do your best and get used to it and deal with and move on. Take me to an airport there is so much metal in me I always know I’m going through security. Love this Article. Very Inspiring!!!

I have a grand-niece born blind. She does not “realize” that she’s supposed to just give up and accept a fate of a limited life, as society has declared. She’s fearless and happy and has never said, “I can’t.”

Sometimes people see someone overcoming obstacles and succeeding, and it makes them uncomfortable because it reveals the folly of their own weak excuses. Their defense is to try to crush the other person’s goals. It’s sad, really. My suggestion is to just pity them, because their psychological limitations are greater than Joe’s physical limitations.

Have you tried Kickstarter.com for fundraising?
