Being stuck in a wheelchair was indeed a blessing

It is hard to imagine him in a room full of people, introducing himself as, “Hi everybody, my name is Kirio and I am an alcoholic.” I don’t even know if there is such a program here, but if there was, it could benefit from someone as full of life as Kirio.

When I picked him up earlier, I was surprised to find him in a wheelchair, surprise which much have shown on my face. “Yeah, I know.” He said. “First time I saw myself in the mirror, seated on this baby right here,” he tapped the side of the chair, “Well, I was like ‘good luck getting tail now Old Kirio.’”
