My friend cannot walk. He has lost control of his legs, and will be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. I have a stutter. I’ll probably never be able to talk normally for the rest of my life. These disabilities brought us together, and now we’re best friends.

We constantly joke about our disabilities, and make fun of each other’s (yes, it’s bizarre, but it’s created a friendship).

One day, he and I were playing video games with some other friends. After he died, he threw his controller down in anger and started to leave the room, to which I commented, “Oh, go walk it off.” Me and the other guys laughed, but my friend seemed genuinely hurt. This comment is one I’ve used before, and it’s never made him angry.

He hasn’t talked or looked at me in a while. Did I do something wrong?
