My nephew Chase turns twelve today. His life is one of miracles. When he was born, he barely weighed over two pounds. His mother had been on crack and delivered prematurely.
His entire life, all he has known is darkness. He talks of Heaven and someday being able to see all the things we describe to him. I took him to see the new Harry Potter movie yesterday and did the SAP commenting for him so he'd know what was going on. He loved it.
Despite being blind, Chase is one bullheaded, strong, optimistic kid who doesn't limit himself to anything. Grandma sees to that. My mother bought him a bicycle for his birthday. Yes. A bicycle.
I asked him, "How will you know where to go?"
He replied, "Grandma's getting me training wheels."
*LOL*
He wasn't worried about where he was going, only how to stay upright. He wants to ride on the back of Hope desperately. I tell him I'm not a good enough rider to have a passenger. Guess I need to practice more... he's one determined youngster.
Happy birthday, Chasers! You can do anything you put your mind to... I love you...
Aunt Robyn
