Early this morning I packed Ezekiel and Joseph in the van and we buzzed off to Philly to the Challenged Athletes Running Clinic. Those of us with 2 legs containing no metal were a minority on that field of fake grass. We saw all manner of technology on display...some with a good dose of humor.
One man had a tattoo on his 'good' leg It was a dotted line the circled his leg and said "cut here".
Another had "Warning May do stupid things at any given times."
There were a lot of other kids....a good thing for Joe...
He could run as fast or faster than most of them...another confidence builder....something he needs some days.
Other days the boy simply DRIPS with self-confidence...but that is another post!
There were dedicated volunteers that were on hand to help everyone along,
also a young girl from Liberia learning to use two new limbs
A family who flew the whole way from London for this clinic.
All in all it was a beautiful day.
We returned home in time to make 8 loaves of bread and clean up the laundry.
Ben had cracked the whip and the kitchen floor was shoeless and paperless and mostly dirtless when we walked in the door.
Hope thought that next Saturday should be mama and girls day and the boys need to do most of the cleaning.
