Monday Morning Joy: Boy With Cerebral Palsy Walks for the 1st Time to Greet His Marine Father

On Facebook, I noticed that Monday morning brings the usual "I Hate Mondays" graphics and sentiments.

Screw that.

Instead, I think I will start Mondays on this blog with some stuff to make you feel glad to be alive.

Like this:



When Staff Sgt. Jeremy Cooney, a Marine deployed in Afghanistan, returned home, he was greeted with a great surprise. Doctors originally said that his son, Michael, who is afflicted with cerebral palsy, “would never walk or do much of anything,” explains Jeremy’s wife. “While daddy was away, he learned to walk. For his homecoming, we set it up for Michael to walk to his daddy for the first time ever! We kept the fact that he could walk a secret the whole time his dad was gone!”

Stories like these give people with children suffering from cerebral palsy , hope that they will also see such progress.
