Remembering When
by Joe Di Pace 
There are times when some of us who have acquired a mobility disability will stop and remember what is was like when we were abled bodied. No I don’t mean the every day occurrence of trying to remember what it was like without pain or lack of mobility. I mean thinking back and savoring moments that defined who we once were. The freedom of moving around unrestricted, without giving it a second thought. The freedom of bouncing up from a lying down position without having to think about how you are going to do it for 3-4 minute. Those of you who have acquired a mobility disability later on in life know exactly what I am talking about.

Human Stem Cell Research
What Is All the Commotion About?
 Let me start off by telling you what a Human Stem Cell (HSC) is. A HSC is a precursor cell that can give rise to multiple tissue types. HSC are broken down into Embryonic Stem Cells (ES), Embryonic Germ Cells (EG), fetal stem cells, and adult stem cells. In essence, the idea is that with further research, that scientists some day can basically clone healthy cells from these HSC that are organ specific and theoretically can heal diseased organs.

WHAT I HAVE LEARNED FROM MY DISABILITIES
by Carrie Tynan
 Over the years I have accepted my visual, hearing, and physical impairment to be a part of me. They have been with me since birth and go wherever I go invited or not. Unfortunately, in the past they have been an embarrassment to me and often considered a burden in my life. I even got to the point of lying and keeping others at a distance to cover up my disabilities it seemed easier

Angels Never Say Hello!
by Dottie Walters
My grandma told me about angels. She said they come knocking at the door of our hearts, trying to deliver a message to us. I saw them in my mind's eye with a big mail sack slung between their wings and a post office cap set jauntily on their head. I wondered if the stamps on their letters said "Heaven Express." "No use waiting for the angel to open your door," Grandma explained
