J-rap Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 One year and eight months ago my husband was paralyzed and not able to speak a word. Two months ago he was able to walk (slowly, and without the use of his arm) our daughter down the aisle at her wedding. He was also able to give a 30 second speech at her reception, which he had been practicing every day for three months. It is hard, hard work, but he is getting better. Anyway, I thought I'd share this photo, which we finally just got from the photographer last week. :) (The drops in the photo are from mist in the air.)

k2bdeutmeyer Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 As the wife of a husband with a serious spinal cord injury who was told he'd never walk again.....(I know it's different, but...) I know how long that road can be. Congrats to your hubby, and what an amazing moment for your daughter. One, I'm sure, she will cherish for many years to come.
