I reflect how far we have come on this journey

I walk in a familiar place
memories are no longer heavy
I count my
I am here
I can walk up the narrow path
I can listen to the birds’ song
I can see
a robin is hopping around

Seeing Peter Reed’s post of the impact of on families made me reflect on our hardest moments in our journey. Many but one was 1st time after D’s paralysis we visited the Lakes & the minute he saw the mountains we once hiked together. Many tears were shed-my heart 💔

A little introduction: I'm Ian sailing round the UK and Ireland to support the Andrew Cassell Foundation who help disabled people sail independently and helped me rehab out of nursing home. I live with effects of low spinal injury and am passionate about accessibility on the water
