One phrase we hear often about Miles’s limb difference is, “I’m sorry he’s missing his hand”. Even this weekend, someone stopped him in the grocery store to tell him they were sorry about him missing his hand. I know sometimes comments like these are someone trying to connect. But let me tell you, Miles isn’t missing anything. He isn’t missing the opportunity to live life to the fullest, to try new things, to challenge himself, to change the narrative of what living with a limb difference looks like. However, it’s the people that say that comment that make me wonder if they may be the one missing something. Missing out on the chance to recognize that no matter how someone moves or processes the world around them, they are capable of amazing things too. Please don’t be sorry, be open to see the beauty in being unique!
