If your child had no legs, you wouldn't expect him to walk. Sure, you might
give him a wheelchair or perhaps prosthetic legs, but you certainly would
not expect him to get up and walk like a person who has legs. Whether your
child is born with no legs, or lost his legs later in life, he is still
without legs.

Sometimes I wish Zoe would not go through these screaming episodes. I can
control her diet and give her homeopathic remedies, to ease the severity,
duration, and frequency of her screaming episodes, but she is still of the
nature to have these "spells". She is still "without legs". It is
frustrating when I give her the best prosthetic legs I know of, and yet she
falls down. But this is my child, legs or no legs, screaming or no
screaming. She is Zoe. All I want is for her to be as happy and healthy as
she can possibly be. All I can do for her is my best. Her smile fills my
heart, her laughter fills my soul. I know I am very fortunate. I am grateful
to be her mother.
