Those Whose Labor Make Our Lives Possible

A lovely Labor Day meditation on personal care workers, supported employment assistants, and the millions of others whose labor makes the lives of people with disabilities possible:

I was moved by his recognition that unpaid labor is still labor. MyGuy has been my backup and foundation and ceiling. When we met we were all about equality. MyGuy taught me that equality is an ideal that's premature when we are born to an oppressive society: I learned to value equity instead. At the time I don't think either of us realized how much work would land on his shoulders. I am so grateful he bears the burdens without rancor and with love.
