There is this place in my house that will give me a great view.
I can see incoming traffic and the cute lawn guys.
Every day I get the best look at the new plants by my driveway and the kids riding their bikes back and forth.
Then the weather will get hot. Kids will start to play in sprinklers. They want the fun that can only the backyard can bring.
The backyard that I can’t get to….or see.
I have to be happy for their good time. Of course I smile when they do. Those little stinkers will spread their fun around.
I know, STINKERS…yeah, yeah, I still love ‘em.
I have these limitations, things I have to work around or through.
But when it’s my own backyard….it suck.
Total Suckage.

I believe you are going to make it out to the backyard, one way or another!
Thanks for the reminder that I need to write the letter for your Extreme Makeover Home Edition application.

My daughter was in a body cast in 4th grade for two months. We had a handy neighbor come and build us a ramp…..do you have a handy neighbor??????
I’m so sorry. There has to be a way to get you there…

I’m with Peachy. Either that or we hire one of those big rigs to pick up your house and flip it around so your backyard turns into your front yard.
Wait, I guess that won’t work.
Okay, I’m with Peachy!

I’m pretty handy with a sledge hammer and nails, and all that good stuff. I have an idea to help raise funds…I’ve been trying to find a way to use this ‘thing’ to help your family since November. I’ll email you.
You’ll get there. You will. You Will. YOU WILL. Hear me?

Surely there’s a window through which you could set up a webcam, so you could watch them from the couch.
I didn’t have a stroke last fall, and I’m considering this option for summer.

I agree with Peachy. And you will make it back there! You’re doing awesome!
Wait, what, no cute lawn boys? This does suck, and probably is illegal. We all have a human right to ogle the lawn boys. Grrrr.
You will make it back there, you will.

I agree… You’ll get there!

You’ll get there. I know you will
OK interwebz. If extreme home makeover doesn’t make this happen for our girl, we gotta all come thru, we need to take that 18 inch diagonal back door and make it all Nissa friendly cause backyard summers are awesome, and she’s worked too damn hard not to be able to get there due to a damn door and step issue… who is with me on this?
