Visit to the Beach 10/14/15

We went to the beach today and Mason got to put his toes in the sand. Some days the reality of everything he's faced with hits him really hard. Today was emotional for him, all he wanted to do was get up out of his wheelchair and run in the water on his own and be back to the way he was before his stroke. All I can do is hug him and hold him and reassure him I will be right by his side no matter what. There are no words to express how my heart aches for him. No more than six months ago he was running track and riding his skateboard and all of that was taken away so quickly. He now depends on us to help him even do the simplest of things like walking. Don't ever take these simple things for granted. Mason is an amazing young man and I am so proud of how he is handling all of this. I would do this all over again even if I was given the choice. He has taught me what true happiness is and I only hope to be as strong as he is!
