Dear reader If you don’t want an “NCIS” spoiler stop reading now.

Dear writers at “NCIS”:

Hi it’s me “Rose” I doubt you’ll actually read this or see it even however I need to vent so I am writing this to you anyway.

I am writing this to you because I just read an article on Yahoo about how you’re going to make “Mcgee’s” girlfriend “Delilah” be paralyzed and in a wheelchair because(and yes I am paraphrasing here) You want to show how someone can over come challenges.

As someone who has been disabled My whole life and in a wheelchair from about age 5 I can tell you that being in a wheelchair isn’t the worst thing that can ever happened to a person.

I want to live in a world where people don’t see my chair and think o my God look at you living in a wheelchair as if it’s an impossible thing to do.

I do it ever day so I know it’s possible. I never had a choice to be disabled or not it just happened.

I think the amazing things people do Are when they have a choice and they do something amazing with it.

No one really wants to be congratulated for just breathing, which is how I personally feel your’re acting.

Don’t see the chair at all, see the person sitting in it. Complement her just because she’s kick ass, NOT because she is kick ass even though she is in a chair.

That will do far more in the cause of making people in chairs “normal”.

You guys have a very big platform with this show please use it to help us, not to reinforce old stereotypes.

Like for example like it be known that “McGee” is staying with her not because he feels sorry for her but because he loves her.

Do you know how many times guys get asked why they are with me? Or I hear “He is such a good man for being with you. ”

As if the very act of loving me is so hard. Yes I know physically lifting me and helping to care for me is hard, however no man I have ever been with has ever said loving me was.

Please let her shine as a person and not be defined by her chair.

Thanks for your time

-Rose
