In today's Dear Annie column, Annie Lane shares a letter from a reader who sometimes struggles with physical problems, even if they might not appear to outwardly.
Since many people struggle with different handicaps, today's Dear Annie reader suggests others stop judging the book by its cover.
This is in response to the lady who complained about how people hold their fork and knife. Your response was very true. I have rheumatoid arthritis, and as my hands have gotten worse, holding things is a real challenge. I used to peel potatoes in a few minutes, but it now takes many times as long. I also park in a handicapped spot. Some days, I can move fairly easily; other days, it is a challenge to just get out of my car.
I learned long ago not to judge by appearance. Thank you for explaining that things aren’t always what they seem. -- Mary W.I’m sorry that you’re struggling with rheumatoid arthritis. I’m happy to print your letter to again amplify the message that others’ suffering and limitations are not always readily apparent.
