The Marisol Series 7/11: Salvador/Grandpa

(The Marisol Series 7/11: Salvador/Grandpa)

"Each time I pick up Marisol from school she is very happy when she sees me and runs towards me. Even the teachers are impressed by how she runs to me when she sees me arrive. I wish I had taken a picture of her at that time so that I can see her face light up just when she sees me. Each time I see this it reminds me of her efforts to learn how to walk from when she was small. Since her therapy was at my home we built a make-shift handrail for her out of PVC pipes. She would start at one end and I would stand at the other. She would slowly reach over to me one step at a time. I was going to build a walker for her, however her therapist said that was not proper for her. I love her and I am so proud of her."
