My mom was an amputee back when prosthetic legs were made of wood. I told all of my preschool friends and they didn't believe me, so when she came to pick me up, she let them knock on her wooden leg. Of course, being curious children, they felt the need to bang on her good leg for comparison. She took it really well, but I'm sure she was a little sore. My mom was awesome.

I met an awesome little kid today who was curious so just out right asked what happend to my leg. I told him and he said my fake leg was really cool. Top tip: don't stare, ask. 👍🏼

Amputee here. Real pegleg. Real live parrots. I travel around dressed as a pirate. Teaching and advocating for amputees and folks with disabilities! I wrote a childrens book abd i host a show on youtube for kids! Every one of these pictures represents amazing people having fun, enjoying life and really owning who they are!! Its amazing! Cheers from Captain Jay!

thats sad

#10, Mrs. Nesbit, is not an amputee in real life. He's a cosplayer from the Minneapolis-St. Paul area who makes great costumes, but I've met him personally and I can verify that he has two arms.

Girl on #3 is so damn hot no one would even notice the missing leg.

These guys are the real life heroes... Men and women that don't succumb to the sadness and self pitty, they just keep on fighting with a smile on their faces and they don't quite having fun and enjoying life, and they are an amazing role model for us all.

Brave souls. I'm not sure I could be so positive. Bless them all.
