I am a baseball lover. It’s my sport. I started playing softball at the age of 4 and played competitively until I went to college. I was a pitcher and I was a natural. It was a passion. But after I quit playing softball, baseball took over as my first love. I watch way too many games on TV and I am peaceful & excited – in my “happy place” – when at a game.
Part of many baseball fan’s bucket list is the Louisville Slugger Museum. Well, its on my Bucket List anyway. And, today I got to visit! I got to put a big ‘ol check on one of my bucket list items!
Thanks to my brother, I got to see the displays, go on the factory tour, and take silly pictures. Thanks to my brother and a wheelchair.
Speaking of that wheelchair, another first happened today. Below is the FIRST picture of me actually in a wheelchair.
I’ve used motorized shopping carts for almost 2 years – when available – and spent the majority of my family vacation last August in this chair. (A lot of walking is involved.) I rarely use it other than those specific times, but I knew I couldn’t survive nor enjoy my bucket list experience without it. So, while its something I never expected for myself this early in life – and part of me is crushed by it – I am thankful that it allowed me the freedom to go live life and experience one of my Bucket List items!
Cheers to these two wheels and my brother (pictured with me and Babe Ruth) for making this possible!
