Few words need to be said for this post. Check out this video.
This video is from a little over a week ago. A new goal for Caila was to get her running (or rather jogging). Caila assured me she could not run and refused to attempt running for the longest time. After much encouragement and me being a little pushy, she allowed me to slowly increase the speed on the treadmill. The first day we attempted running she reached 4.4mph, but the second day, she reached 5.0mph. She ran at 5.0mph for about 45 seconds before pressing the “stop” button. 45 seconds may not seem long to some; however that 45 seconds seemed to occur in slow motion as Caila’s entire journey flooded through my mind. No words can be put together to encompass the emotions that not only myself felt, but also Caila in that moment. She may never verbally admit it, but you could see the pure joy that came across her face as she stepped off the treadmill. It was a beautiful God given moment.
