And this, my friends, is why it's never okay to pass judgment on somebody whom you don't know.

Justine Van Den Borne was out shopping with her daughter in Australia earlier this month. When they returned to their car, they found this note on the windshield. They were parked in a handicap spot, but for good reason. Justine took to her Facebook page to respond:

To person that left this on my car last week at Mitcham Shopping Centre- I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis when I was 35. Not just MS but the worst one that never goes away and is slowly crippling my life. My kids have had to deal with things that kids shouldn't ever have to deal with and all of our futures are forever changed. On the day you saw me I was having a good day, I was walking with my daughter unaided having a nice day. Thank you for ruining that. You made me feel like people were looking at me, the exact way I feel when I can't walk properly. I am sick of people like yourself abusing me on my good days for using a facility I am entitled to. A disability doesn't always mean a person has to be wheelchair bound but lucky for you I one day will be. Right now my focus is to walk into my best friends wedding next September and not have to be pushed. I will be 42. Before you ruin another persons day remember you don't know everything and just because you can't see it it doesn't mean a person isn't struggling to put one foot in front of the other.

Justine says that she didn't post the reaction to gain attention, but simply to understand her story. We hear you, Justine. Loud and clear.
