Hands and Feet

In the recent bombing in Boston, several people lost their legs, including a three year old girl.

So stupid and tragic and horrific.

I am so very grateful to be able to walk.

Sylvia's hands are now almost totally curled up...she can no longer feed herself or even reach for the water on her nightstand.  When I first knew her, she could do indexing, type letters on her computer, feed herself, etc.  She cannot put on her glasses or take them off, so in just a few short years, she has gone from having the use of her hands to not being able to use them much at all.   It is heart-breaking.

I am so grateful for the use of my hands.

Oh yes, I am thankful for hands and feet.
