Milestones

Our 4 year old son Finn achieved a childhood milestone yesterday. He successfully rode his two-wheeler!  He was so excited and beamed with the satisfaction of accomplishment. He can't wait to show Daddy this weekend.
For me, this was the first child of our 6 whom I was able to help with this milestone. Duane patiently helped all 5 of our other children. I just could not run along with them. It was a milestone for me as well. I am so appreciative of these seemingly small things, but the shining eyes of our son were all I needed to know that this was really no small thing. I could not have done this a year ago. I feel that with this (new to me) prosthetic technology, I am 20 years younger than I was with my old prosthesis.
