Dennis Brown Shoes - Part 2

Gosh this post is like 3 months overdue!

I said I had to post part 2 about these Dennis Brown Shoes till today I am gonna get the second pair and I still have not gotten it done!

That day when we went to get the shoes, in my heart I was still thinking to get or not to get... so EXPENSIVE! $155 per pair.

Then while we were speaking to the therapist, I was ranting of how much we have spent and how costly these shoes were. Aren't there any rental? or you know pre loved ones that are still good? like you know you can get those adidas, nike off the yahoo auction....

Then the therapist smiled and walked out of the room. She returned with this huge screwdriver and a pair of the shoes. The shoes had some metal plate screwed below which the therapist said Jere did not need and if we could unscrew that plate off, the shoes were ours to keep. So Tim who was there went.. ok... no matter what i gonna yank that plate out! He tried and he tried but in vain... anyhow, we left the place thanking the therapist assuring her we'll find a way. And so we got the shoes FREE! Thank You Lord! Look how the Lord watches over us and blesses us!

We went home and Tim took out all his tools in his tool box and tried and tried but still could not get the darn plate out of the shoe. He was trying for the rest of the afternoon and night till he went to bed.
That's how much your daddy loves you Jere.

The next day, Tim was on leave, for what really i can't recall but i definitely remember how he was still trying to get the metal base plate off the shoe. He went to the bicycle shop after sending me to work and asked them if they could help. They tried but in vain. Tim went to another hardware shop asking for help but they too could not unscrew the plate. Tim then returned to the bicycle shop and the people there almost thought he was crazy. I guess no one really understands how only a parent could feel and want to do what they can do for their child who is so helpless in the situation. Tim then went for lunch still thinking of the Dennis Brown over his bowl of Lor Mee at the market nearby. When he told me what was going through his mind, i was really touched at his love for little Jere. People all celebrate a mother's love but i guess we should celebrate how great our father's love is too! He told me that the whole world can don't unscrew the shoes but he has to do it coz he will be able to do it coz he's the father! and so he quickly finished his noodles and returned to the bicycle shop. The people looked at him with unbelieving eyes and he just humbly asked if he could borrow their machines to do it. The boss agreed. So Tim went in and tried his hand at it. The boss soon joined him looking at how determined he was. Together they finally yanked the plate off and Jere wore the shoes for a good 2 months :)
Thank you Daddy....

Okie, later during lunch i gonna zoom down to the hospital to get a new pair for Jere after waiting for a month for the appointment since he outgrown those shoes. I pray that the Lord God watches over us and send His blessings upon us wherever we go.
Pray that i get another Hand Me Down :) but without the metal base plate this time or at least one that is not screwed so tightly :P
