I was reflecting on both Poohbear71’s brother Kevin and Passitongreeting’s quote, "If you are facing the right direction, all you have to do is keep on walking," when I remembered an incident from my childhood.  My school administered an IQ test, and my mother was called-in to discuss the results.  It appears I had “missed” one question, and the one question I missed, no one else had missed.  You had to put in order 4 pictures, a man walking, a man walking with a cane, a man on crutches, and a man in a wheelchair.  We were supposed to arrange them in order of disability/handicap, but I arranged them in order of speed.  My father always went faster in his wheelchair than with his cane, crutches, or wooden leg, and he seemed to be happier (less pain) in the wheelchair.  We do tend to complicate this journey.   I talked with Dad earlier today, he still has a goal to get out of his wheelchair and use his prosthesis to walk again.  God bless him!  Dr. Robert O. Becker where are you?  Dad still fondly remembers you!  I believe you have always been pointed in the right direction!!  Thanks for caring!!!
