CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa – A little girl with dwarfism has learned to walk thanks to something her grandfather made.

Bob Sternowski, a former engineer for Rockwell Collins, saw his granddaughter, Ellie Nurre, struggling to walk at 2-years-old and knew he had to do something about it.

“Once an engineer, always an engineer. I thought I’ll come up with an answer for that,” Sternowski said.

He said Nurre was having trouble walking because she had a larger head than other toddlers and her neck muscles couldn’t support it.

So he created a scooter, that’s kind of like an adult walker with wheels on the bottom and the ability to turn 360 degrees.

He says by the end of the first week, she was running with the scooter and six months later she didn’t need to use the walker anymore. . . . .

2 Hour long Conversation with my Bestie about everything from British Crime Television to a preference for tall, dark, and handsome, to a long description of favorite books, and in-depth plans for our future–Why yes, sounds like it would make my day 🙂

Happy Father’s Day!

16 Jun

I have been blessed over the last few weeks to see lots of examples of really great dads. So here, in honor of all those great men out there, are some of the pictures I’ve collected. ❤

Happy Father’s Day!

To pull the metal splinter from my palm
my father recited a story in a low voice.
I watched his lovely face and not the blade.
Before the story ended, he’d removed
the iron sliver I thought I’d die from.
I can’t remember the tale,
but hear his voice still, a well
of dark water, a prayer.
And I recall his hands,
two measures of tenderness
he laid against my face

500 year old Korean love letter

6 Feb

Had to share this article!  It’s comforting to know that love never changes. no matter where, no matter when, love remains strong, persevering, and unchanging.

500 year old Korean love letter.

Merry Christmas!

25 Dec

I wish each and everyone a wonderfully blessed, much remembered and beloved Christmas.  One where family and friends can gather together. Or, if family and friends are not able to come nearby, then one where strangers gift each other that familial feeling Christmas brings forth.  

To every person, no matter how far, may we all remember the message those holy speakers came to share on a night just like this.   For those who had nothing, it was news of hope.  For those with hope, it was news of fulfilled faith.  And for those who upheld the faith, it was a message of marvelous love.  

 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
(Luke 2:7-14).

12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,

14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
