I built a second one for the woman down the street with the bad hip.
Then six more for the clinic, who asked if they could sell them.
Ray took a picture, put it online, and said, “You know what, D, I think we have a company.”

Ten years have passed since then.
I never walked again.

Greta is thirteen and reads everything and argues with all of it.
Amelia is ten and has never once in her life seen her father standing and does not, she informs me regularly, see what the big deal is.
