So this is amazing Will.
He is a veteran who was disabled and is missing a leg.
But that doesn't stop him from going to the track with his beautiful son to play ball and do some laps.
In a few short moments he switches between his regular walking prothesis and the carbon fiber running blades for playing and working out.
All I could say to Will was how amazing he is.
And he is amazing Will for what he can do despite any disabilities--he turns his disabilities into abilities!
And he is amazing Will not just because of his name and his service to his country and his devotion to his family, but because of his willpower.
Will is determined to succeed no matter what.
Not to compare, but I thought to myself what excuse do I have with my titanium hips.
Get the heck around the track for another dozen Andy!
And I did, and I am losing weight and getting back to myself.
I think the lose of both my completely dear parents the last couple of years was more than traumatic for me.
But they would want me to heal and to be me again.
I know they are watching and I want to make them proud. ;-)
