Mom And Disabled Husband Find Horrible Note On Their Windshield At Olive Garden

One of the pleasures that many of us get in life is going out for a meal with our family. Kionna Montazeri had just gone out for a meal at Olive Garden. She had her eight-year-old daughter and her disabled husband with her. The problem is, they had the worst experience when they got back to their car.

As they approached, they saw a yellow note on the windshield. It was written by somebody who was not only judgmental, they were extremely rude. The assumption by the author of the note is that nobody in the family was disabled. They were accusing the family of taking advantage of the disabled parking spot where their car was parked.

The comment they left on the windshield was uncalled for.

The note read, “Disabled? No. Just your big fat asses.”

 

What a horrible thing to say! Obviously, the person who wrote it has no idea that some disabilities are not easy to see. Regardless, the rude comments were uncalled for.

Kionna and Dusty didn’t want their 8-year-old daughter to see the note so they grabbed it quickly but she had already seen it. She wondered why a stranger would leave such a note on their vehicle. The mother decided she would teach her daughter a lesson using the situation they experienced. She posted it online and it went viral.

“To the person/persons that left this note on my car at the Olive Garden on Memorial in OKC today, I’d like to say thank you!”

“Your misguided and uninformed attempt to shame me and my family provided an opportunity to teach my 8 year old daughter a lesson. Upon seeing this note, she said ‘Mom, why would someone do that? They don’t even know us.’

“This coming from a little girl who’s daddy will never get to walk her down the aisle, because, he is in fact disabled. So we explained to her that some people just have hate in their hearts. We further explained how your actions can deeply affect others around you, and how she should always be conscious of others feelings.

“I explained that she was right. These people didn’t know us. They didn’t know that my husband has Muscular Dystrophy and has struggled with it his entire life. They didn’t know that even though his doctors advised him to go into a wheelchair years ago, he refused, and instead, remained on his own two feet until he finally fell for the last time, blowing out both knees and breaking an ankle. They didn’t understand that we’ve spent the last 2 years learning to adjust to a life in which he can’t even stand up to get in and out of a car.

“They didn’t see that I’ve torn my rotator cuff lifting on him to assist him in his transitions. They have no idea that he already lives in constant pain, and that their hurtful words would only add to that. They didn’t know that the reason that he has a belly is because there are no stomach muscles left to hold everything in tight.

“They didn’t know that our 8 year old already struggles to understand why her daddy can’t run and play with her the way other daddies do. They just didn’t know. And because they didn’t know, they allowed the hate in their hearts to get the better of them.

“So again, I’d just like to say Thank You.

“Your ignorance provided a wonderful opportunity for me and my husband, who have struggled and survived and come out stronger in the last couple of years, to not only teach our daughter a valuable lesson, but provided another opportunity for us to overcome and to be thankful for the blessings that continue to come our way!”

Kionna posted the comments on Facebook in hopes that the person who left the note will someday read it. They might think twice before doing the same thing again.
