this morning #1260.

this morning, i took him by the hand & led him down the stairs. slowly. one step at a time. no rush. he held on tight but i know he knows he’ll be alright. i had him & i’m going to guide him through this. no way i’ll let him fall. haven’t so far. at his age, he needs my assistance. can’t do everything on his own. he’s finally accepting that. he may change his mind tomorrow but for today, we’re ok. when we reached the bottom of the staircase, he muttered “thank you” under his breath & i let go of his arm. he had it from here. it was only a few more steps to the couch. for the rest of the day, that’s mostly where he’ll stay. focused on the tv. he’ll definitely let me know if he needs me. believe me.
