I would just like to tell people that when a person is handicapped, we don't like to be stared at like we are aliens. We didn't want this. I would give anything to park in the farthest parking space from the door. I don't look handicapped & I get looks from un-understanding people UNTIL I put on my oxygen hose. I breathe heavier than the normal person just sitting there & that's because my lungs are restricted. I'm getting over weight because I cannot exercise. So until you wear a person shoes, please don't judge them!
