We found out the day before graduation that she'd try to walk it ... and I can tell you, last minute plane tickets from Kansas City to Las Vegas come at a premium! Wouldn't have missed it for the world! These beautiful people, the teachers and parents, at the Univ of Las Vegas were incredible. There wasn't a dry eye in the house as she walked slowly across that stage (with minimal help). Next pic is her first day of regular kindergarten! They're working on basic skills she'll need, but we never thought we'd see this day. You all have been with us on this journey, and I thank you ... from the absolute bottom of my heart. The attached thumbnail is Tristyn standing alone, working at a skill.

    A friend is not who knows you the longest, but the one who came and never left your side.

    Don't look back, we ain't goin' that way.

    The look on her face in the class room picture seems to say "Don't even dare to tell me I can't do it!" She's quite the little lady.

    I agree with Rick. I hope you get to see her do her marathon some day.
    I can think of few acts more selfish than refusing a vaccination.
