My father had Muscular Dystrophy and enjoyed computer games that allowed him to do things he could never do. He was a particular fan of Microsoft Flight Simulator and we would spread out the big maps of airfields and plot courses and enjoy the virtual freedom of a city or country with the expansion packs.

I think if he were alive today, he'd probably have a VR headset.

Looking back I regret the times that I, in my ignorance, nagged him about still being on the computer and just gliding along the sky.
