[Blind-rollers] Being independent

[Petra van Driel]

Hi,

When sending my mail on gps, I didn't realize it wasn't just the mobility
aspect, so sorry for that. One little positive story about parents now, and
yes, i know I'm lucky. When I was about 13 or so, I defenetly wanted
rollerscates. But I can and could than, only walk when having something or
someone to hold on to. So my mom must have known the whole thing wouldn't
work out at all. Well, she just said, let's go to the shop and try. We went
there, I put the things on and tried to stand holding my mom, and it didn't
work. I was somewhat disapointed, but didn't blaim my mom for it. She
couldn't help it. And another good thing was, the shopkeeper didn't even
sound worried. When parends act naturally, others take over the good
behaviour.
