Amazing

Before Daph was born, we were told that occasionally when children are born with the type of lower leg issues she has, a decision is made to just amputate their legs and start fresh instead with prosthetics.


















I didn't want to amputate my baby's legs. Can you even imagine?


















We didn't tell Daphne she was supposed to struggle with walking. We've just waited for her to decide she was ready.

Well, she's decided.


















And she amazes me.
