Inpiration

This is our friend Louis. He is an ex-policeman from New York. 14 years ago a tree fell on him and broke his back. He had a complete injury making him a paraplegic. When Gavin first met him a year and a half ago, he had no feeling from the ribs down. He is now an incomplete injury and walking with a walker! Last night he made a grand entrance into our room walking for the first time in 14 years! It was INCREDIBLE! So inspiring for Gavin! There wasn't a dry eye in the room and we were so proud of him. He is definitely determined and it shows.

Miracles happen everyday here. We are so glad to be a part of this.

The picture above is of him balancing with one hand on the walker. He said something to Gavin last year that he will never forget, "I have a hole in my back that I need to rebuild, like a house. You need to repaint the inside of your house. A new, white coat of paint."

Gavin's got the primer on. Now we're starting with the paint at the baseboards.
