Yes. I am very happy, because I do feel the joy of so much of the beauty in my life. This is such a cute story. My four-year-old grandson, he was in—this was this past winter, and he came in with my daughter and my oldest, his sister, my oldest granddaughter. They were getting ready to go to Target together, and I couldn’t go. I went into the back room, and I started to cry because I couldn’t go with them, and then he came back and said, “Mama, why are you crying?” I said, “I’m so upset that I can’t go to Target with you and Alyssa.” He goes, “You can’t, cause you’re paralyzed.” Just like that, with his hands up, and I just had this big belly laugh come out of because this child was so pragmatic in the way he was dealing with my life, and I thought, well if this four-year-old boy, whom I love more than anything, and fixes my wheelchairs at any given moment, that’s cause for great joy. Things like that are in my life all the time and they create laughter and great joy.
