Thank you for writing this. I think more people need to be aware of those of us with unseen illnesses and issues who can no longer do things at a speed they wish they could and did at one time. Everyone needs to be more considerate and compassionate of others. I see what seem to be able bodied people taking handicapped parking spaces and go off running into the store and it is infuriating especially since I can hardly walk 20 yards without exhaustion, and I have to end up parking halfway down the line of cars! But then, there are those with unseen ailments who park legitimately in handicapped parking when it "looks" like they don't need to. So, we can't be too judgmental. It is a frustrating situation to be sure. But the holiday season, above all other times, we all need to be more understanding of people with seen and unseen issues. The season is about love and thanksgiving. Let's be thankful for what we have and bless those less fortunate than ourselves. And lets try to do it year round, not just during "the season".
