    I have seen the reality of how my life will be as I get older and I don’t like it.
    I want to be able to go out and and about. To be able to drive. Not be doped up the eyeballs to be able to function. To be the old me.
    Most of ALL I so so do not want to be burden to my DS. He did not ask for this.

  • No, DS did not ask for it but I’m sure he doesn’t mind. You make up for it in other ways, just by being you Xx
