The Walk

Today mom reached a Huge milestone. When mom got sick back in December there was a time when we didn't know if she would be able to use her left side. Every time she twitched or made any kind of movement on the left side it was a big celebration. Before she got sick, Mom and I used to walk the section in Cleghorn (4 miles) all the time. When she was in intensive care, I told her that we would be back walking that section in no time! She didn't believe me then and at the time I was scared we might not. Today mom, Rach and I walked the entire section in under 1 hour!!!! Mom wasn't even tired! It was a perfect and beautiful day, mom was even singing along the way. We thank God for our mom, our miracle mom. We love you!!  Kerry


  Love my momma!
