Bob Breaking New Ground
Today was our only child's birthday, son who is now 34! I emailed him this link and said it was a happy birthday video! It is a vid of Bob, and although it is something he is far from doing on his own, it is the beginning of him reaching the next level. He has worked so hard, and I feel very thankful. The night I put up our tree, was the night my sister called to say Mom was in the emegency room, so I shoved the top angel and tinsel back in the box and ran out. Don't know where they are now, but it is good enough. I feel so very blessed to have all my loved ones survive this year (well, until tomorrow when it is the end of the world! Oddly, with all Bob can't do, when I look at him, I don't see a handicapped person.... I think it is because of all the therapy we've done, and me seeing him working so hard on everything... leg, arm, speech. I don't see his handicaps, I just see him. My life is very busy, doing all the things he can't do around here, or for himself, but in many ways it hasn't changed. I was never a social butterfly, loved to be home, taking care of my small family, waiting on hubby hand and foot. Oddly, it feels a lot like usual, now that I'm used to the work load. It just feels like our lives, period, not a pitiful version of it, just us, living it one day at a time.
Here's the link to that Happy Birthday video I sent son. Be sure to watch till the end, and you'll get a better shot of Bob descending:
