Our little girl Indiana didn’t learn to walk until she was 3 years old. Being born with downSyndrome, and having very little muscle tone, she really didn’t even learn to crawl properly until a month before she began walking…
A short time after Joey passed away in March 2016, I began taking Indy to High Hopes, a very unique preschool in Franklin, TN that integrates typical and special needs kids with the therapies they need - all in one place. And it was there that the staff and therapists began building her core strength and her confidence. Less than a year later, Indy took her first steps and she hasn’t stopping walking and running forward since… continuing to amaze me and everyone around her with what she can, and even more so, God can, do in our lives, if we trust and follow Him. He turns tragedy into triumph and heartbreak into hope.
This video is dedicated to Kristin Garner, Gail Powell, and everyone at High Hopes who worked with and poured love into Indiana and our family during that special time and season of our lives. - rory
