Smiling, serving, and disabled: Why that shouldn’t be surprising

I smile a lot. I’m known for it.

I wear bright clothes, wacky glasses and glam up my wheelchair. I also receive a lot of comments about being smiley and bright, and living my life ‘out there’. I love life!

My husband also smiles a lot and wears wacky glasses, but he doesn’t get comments about being smiley or living his life to the full.
