Just Because...

Just because I can walk and talk doesn't mean everything's alright.  It doesn't mean that I don't have a disease that has taken away so many things.  So don't ask if I've been golfing this summer, or if I've been hiking mountains.  I haven't.  And don’t act surprised when I choose to sit on the sidelines instead of joining the game.  Or when I get frustrated with my abilities and want to give up. 

If I choose to do something, or not to, there is likely a reason.  I've thought about it more than you know and made my decision.  I can tell you if you want, but I bet you'd rather not hear it.  It's probably easier for both of us that way.
