On June 30th, my “Christian” was running around playing….it was the last day he wore socks and shoes …until today. Today was the first day since the 30th that my sweet, 7 year old has put both socks and shoes on and did not need the wheelchair.
He’s not 100%, but he is so much better.
When I suggested to Christian that we make a SONIC run, it almost took my breath away seeing him with his shoes on. It completely caught me by surprise.
When your child does not have a medical condition there are things you expect:
-
That they run and play without pain.
-
That they can walk in and out of stores when you run errands.
-
That they never grace the halls of a hospital (and know so many people on a first name basis).
-
And that your worries center around spelling homework, getting to piano lessons once a week and trying to decide which sports team to participate in for the season.
We all worry about our children. Not that it does anyone any good. Worry does not change the outcome of the situation, it does not make the days move along faster and it definitely does not contribute to our health.
But today I am extremely thankful for the little things…the socks and the shoes.
