Being in a wheelchair gives you some perks

Over the Easter weekend Jeremy and I traveled down to NJ to see my mom. Well actually Annie and I traveled together and Jeremy met us there because currently he has been working in Hershey, PA. We spent a wonderful weekend with my family and really missed those who could not be there (Matt, Joe and Arielle). While we were together on Sunday we were talking about my mom and aunts upcoming trip to Florida. At that point we realized my mother has no picture ID. So the next morning my sister, mother and I made the trek to the local DMV to try to get my mom a picture ID. There was a long line but since my mother is confined to a wheelchair we were rushed to the front of the line. God was so good to us that day because to make a long story short my mother had sent in all of her identification papers into the Social Security people. Therefore we had to get a copy of her birth certificate from the town she was born. But God was good and everywhere we went we were sent to the front of the line. It was like Disney all over again! =) It was just wonderful to see how my mother was treated because many times she has to miss out on things or just feels in the way. In a few days time she will be on her way to Florida and having a wonderful time! I'm so thankful to my family for all that they do for her! I wish I could go too....maybe next time!
