Baby steps

Every day is a new milestone. Every day is a small step forward. Baby steps. First the confusion left. Then he was able to move his foot and leg a bit. Then he was able to move his arm a bit. Then even his hand. Now his speech is improving. Slowly. Slowly. An inch at a time.
Man! He is strong. Man! So is she. I don't know if I could be as strong as them.
What do I do? Encourage. Be positive. Help with the exercises. Encourage. Be postive.
It will return. It will come back. Don't you worry. We will work together.
The tears are lessening as the strength is returning.
Leaving now is hard. Knowing that they rely so much on me. But I must continue with the other challenge. The dark cloud which was replaced by another much darker one, is starting to return.
If he can do it, one step at a time, perhaps maybe I can too.
