I went to prom expecting nothing, just another face no one noticed in a crowded room. I didn’t know one dance would lead me to a truth about my past I’d never even questioned before.
I’ve been using a wheelchair since I was 10.
That’s the year everything changed. My parents and I were in a terrible car crash. I don’t remember much from the worst night of my life, just flashes, sounds, and then waking up in a hospital bed with my grandma holding my hand.
My parents didn’t make it.
After that, it was just Grandma Ruth and me.
That’s the year everything changed.
