Making the Laundry List

I don’t know how much it was noticed, but disabled people made the laundry list in this amazing presidential acceptance speech. I notice all the time, how that list of inclusion just misses us. Well, we are there in the other categories – black and white, male and female, gay and straight, etc. But there we were. At a time when we are celebrating perhaps the greatest overturning of images, of who America is, “disabled and non-disabled” made the list.

I am a blind, single, Jewish, lesbian foster/adoptive parent to two daughters and at present most of my work involves travel – the planes, trains, and hotel room type. My first daughter, referred to as D#1 is 20 years old and expecting a baby girl in January. My second, D#2 is 18. I will sometimes refer to my recently retired guide dog who is now living with us as a pet as Sasha.
