My grandson Joshua with a fellow double amputee, with their bionic prosthesis. The photograph was used in an article. It is just over 5 years since Josh had his amputation. It is now almost 2 years since I saw Josh.

What a great pose and picture. A couple of manly men! It still shocks me that he is a grown up. Hoping you get to see him soon.

Where does the time go? Even with Covid it races. Josh is now 26 years. I find it frightening.

We are all so proud of Josh surviving and now thriving. I see 2 incredible and handsome men sitting there. I'm glad they are showing the world that losing one or more limbs is not just survivable but can make a person stronger. I hope we all can soon see the people we love. I very much miss my family and Suzanne.

WoW! Sarah a picture says a thousand words. How wonderful to see Joshua looking so well and the other gentleman looks great too. I do pray that you can get to see your family soon.

The world will get better, I know. Love Chris

His looks have matured and looks like he has put on a little weight or muscle. It looks good on him and he looks good himself. The company chose the right model to advertise their prosthesis. He is a good role model for us all, not just amputees.
I know how you miss him. I missed family so much and was thankful to be able to see them this month. We are getting stricter again since the variant is here and so many infected, so will be no more large gatherings for awhile again. We stopped going to church about 3 or 4 Sundays ago but when we were able to go,after the first lockdown was over, I had tears taking the Lords Supper. It felt so good to be back in church for worship. We missed Nora’s birthday the last 2 years.
Have you been able to see the new baby? I hope so. ❤️Toogie

I am so terribly sorry you have missed out on sharing Nora’s birthday. Covid is just too terrible. We will not be able to see the new baby until international flights will come to South Africa. Just so sad.

He is certainly not the young man who was addicted to pain killers. We now have our old Josh back

What a great picture! He has grown into a very handsome young man. I hope you will get to see him soon. Have you tried face time or any of those new things to video together? I have often wondered how he was doing and I can see his improvement. Thank you for posting.
