Red Was Right

Every morning we put Audrey in her little kid’s chair on the couch and let her watch TV before we take her to Nana’s house. On her own, she got out of her chair, down off the couch, and did this. No prompting, no encouragement from Mom and Dad. Just did this on her own.

And to think there was a time when we weren’t sure if she would ever walk.

Red from “Shawshank Redemption” was right. “I have to remind myself that some birds aren’t meant to be caged.”

When Audrey was diagnosed with Charge Syndrome, I thought she would probably live with us forever. And I was totally okay with that. Now, I think she might leave the house way before Daddy is ready for her to go.
