The Holiday Party

Yesterday was the annual M2H holiday party. I certainly had a great time, and felt like the holiday spirit filled me there. There was music galore, provided by Tom Tolnay and Stacy Mason, Tyler and Trevor’s parents. Everyone was dancing and eating and having fun. It was awesome, and like all M2H events, was what the world should be like. It struck me that no one cared about disability there. Everyone just laughed and danced badly and acted like nonspeaking is no big deal. 

Disability defines us everywhere we go. Life is what my disability makes it. That is why I am so totally into the M2H party. For those two hours I am just Keith:  it’s like a mental break. I love that feeling of just being me. 

I can’t wait for the gala in April.​
