Tears of Joy Today

Today was Bryce's second day of summer camp and I honestly didn't expect a thing. 

I most certainly didn't expect to peak around the corner to his classroom at pick up and see him WALKING!!

The look of pride and joy on his face was the most incredible thing I have ever seen. 

He was holding a loose piece of rope in both hands, I'm not clear on that method yet, and his conductor was walking backwards in front of him. She counted two steps and then gently touched his chest, reminding him to stop and find his balance. They did this for at least 6 steps before he got to me. It was amazing and I balled like a baby. 

Another mom put her arm around me, totally understanding the significance of the moment. She said it's hard to put into words the amazing things they do here and I said we could go home today and this would all be a success in my mind!

I can't wait to see what the next few weeks have in store for our Bryce!!

  5. Katrina I am so happy for you, Bryce and the whole family. This is such wonderful news. What a blessing! Your family has had such a journey lots of tears, hard times, uncertain times and happy times, all culminating in moments like these. There are no words that can acurately express my joy for Bryce. I wish and pray for him more success and accomplishments on this miraculous journey of his.

    God Bless!
