"I used to run, play, and ride my bike without thinking. Now I fall, need help with stairs, and use a wheelchair. Every year, something else fades — walking, turning in bed, even breathing feels harder. The hardest part isn’t about losing strength, but the way I feel for myself then and now and watching everything slip away."
