But looking back at milestones passed and achievements earned gives us the perspective to perceive the change. I too remember watching the video you sent me and it was AMAZING. But looking backwards, I'm even more amazed by how far you have come since - walking up, down, around, and yes, even over, obstacles in your path. What we saw then as a miraculous accomplishment, was in reality only an opening chapter. You have taken us, your friends, fans, and family, from quietly wondering "if" to ourselves, to now anxiously anticipating "when" and "what" your next big achievement will be. Hoping Bob and his family feel the same way this time next year. Keep achieving, keep inspiring, and definitely keep walking.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06561167005220225629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023650171330174929.post-3821556659270525952012-02-12T09:36:22.995-05:002012-02-12T09:36:22.995-05:00Rebecca, thank you so much for posting this video!...Rebecca, thank you so much for posting this video! Bob is my brother and I live in Virginia Beach so you have given me and my family something great, since I could not be there for the first steps. As I sit here crying with happiness watching this great milestone, I think of all of the challenges that are ahead, but by no means, insurmountable. You and Bob give us people to look up to and you will have us cheering for every single step you both take.

You both are ROCKSTARS! (And yes, I did cheer at Bob's video....in fact, the silence in my apartment was broken by a rather loud "woo hoo!" from me. :o)shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10374313113707029895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023650171330174929.post-18511359743586929862012-02-11T11:44:04.882-05:002012-02-11T11:44:04.882-05:00Wow!

What an awesome post! You have come ...Hi Rebecca!<br /><br />What an awesome post! You have come so far in only a year, and I'm sure for patients like Bob, seeing you strive to walk 1,000 miles is such an inspiration! I can definitely relate to the experience of having 'second' first steps! Three months after my accident, I took my 'first' steps while clumsily pushing a walker through my kitchen, with both my parents bawling, of course. We are lucky that this time we'll both remember them and have fabulous Apple products to record them on :)<br />Keep up the great work!<br /><br />MichelleMichellenoreply@blogger.com
