“I felt so bad Joe being away, but she just went from one day standing up & dancing on the spot, to taking a step or two to fully running around like there’s no tomorrow … it all happened so fast!
“But it was the best feeling ever watching her run into daddy’s arms, so excited to show him her new found freedom.
“I felt like I got to watch it twice seeing Joe get to experience that moment for the first time was just the best.”
