Louise & James - Small Steps to Progress

Yes I know this is a picture of a foot. 🦶

Close-Up of a Child's Foot

But this is not a post about a foot; you may think it’s odd to post a foot! But it is what this foot represents... 

This is the foot which once belonged to a scared 5 year-old who was reported by school at having black feet and filthy toenails…

This is the foot of a child who used to scream with fear when you tried to clip her toenails... 

This is the foot of a child who was so afraid of being hurt by the simplest of touch...

This is the foot of a child who was treated so badly that she never felt safe in your arms... 

One touch would cause panic, fear and anxiety 😟 

But this is also the foot of a little human who sat on the sofa next to me tonight and willingly put her foot on my lap for me to tickle, rub and squeeze! 

Time is a healer... Love is a healer... Patience is a healer... I love this little foot 🦶 and I love the human it belongs to!
