When my mother in a wheel chair and I are taking a walk, swings in a children’s playground attract my attention.　I felt sorry for my mother in a wheel chair, but once when no children were there, I enjoyed playing on one.　My mother was innocently laughing just like she, herself was enjoying the swing.

Just looking at the swing/

As I am in a/

Wheel chair/
