I knew today would come.
A day I dreaded. Something I knew would bring tears to my eyes.
Today Melody realized she was made a little different and there are things she can and cannot do. No matter how hard she tries.
Today Melody discovered her sister can wiggle her toes, and that she can't.
It made her mad! She wants us to help her wiggle those toes.
And so we will. We'll wiggle those toes for her as often as we can.
And we'll talk about what she can and cannot do and what WE can and cannot do.
For, no matter how hard we try, there are just some things we can't do.
We can focus on what we can't do, or we can focus on what we CAN do.
And, we can wiggle someone else's toes and bring joy to each of our lives in the process.
So, go find someone whose toes need a little help wiggling, and do it!
