You're Gonna Miss This...Moment #6

This blog carnival was created by Pam at You're Gonna Miss This. A chance to look at our lives and think about what we are going to miss, or already do miss. To play along click on the above link and read the rules. You'll also find many more great moments.

Well, from my most recent post, it's obvious that it hasn't been an easy week. On top of Marissa's death, my 8 yr old nephew (who was diagnosed with Duchennes Muscular Dystrophy at age 2) was fitted for his first wheelchair. We knew the day was coming, but boy did it sneak up on us. The years have seemed to fly by. Little by little it has been obvious that he is getting weaker. He doesn't need the chair yet, but it's only a matter of time.

I am really going to miss seeing Kyle amble his way down the hall, with his cute little out-turned toes gait. He is such a persistent little guy and no matter how many times he falls down or stumbles, he gets right back up and tries again. I am praying that being in a wheelchair doesn't steal his determination or change his fun outlook on life.

 

And to be honest, I really miss when life was easy. You know, like back when I was 4. :)
