The adoption process was difficult, but Mary and Josh’s determination never wavered. They worked tirelessly, picking up extra shifts and selling possessions to cover legal fees. Their love for Adam fueled their every action, and they managed to provide him with everything he needed, despite the hardships.
On Adam’s tenth birthday, they surprised him with a prosthetic arm. As he marveled at his reflection, Josh placed a hand on his shoulder. “Remember, son,” he said, his voice thick with emotion, “this doesn’t define you. You can use it or not—it’s up to you. Your strength comes from within, and you can do anything you set your mind to.”
Years passed, and Adam grew into a confident young man. The love and support he received at home allowed him to flourish, never letting his disability define him. His childhood and teenage years were filled with sports, science fairs, and family movie nights. He made friends, took trips, and even had a few girlfriends. Every couple of years, his parents gifted him a new prosthetic arm, which he used as needed.
As college approached, tragedy struck. Josh fell ill with advanced cancer, his body deteriorating faster than any of them could have imagined. Adam put his education plans on hold, determined to care for the man who had given him so much. Despite their best efforts, no treatment could sаvе Josh.
One afternoon, as Adam sat by Josh’s bedside, his father gripped his hand. “Promise me something, Adam,” Josh wheezed, his voice weak but urgent.
“Anything, Dad,” Adam replied, leaning closer.
“Promise me you’ll always remember what I told you on your tenth birthday.”
Adam choked back tears as he answered, “I remember. I always will. I’ll make you proud.”
Josh smiled weakly. “You already have, son. Now, follow your dreams.”
