At the end of July Mac will have his 18th birthday, so I thought it would be fun to countdown to it with eighteen of my very favorite photos of him.
The first one is from his few summers of swim lessons at the local high school. Summer swim lessons were my favorite. I loved the smell of the sunscreen, watching him jump off the diving board to his teachers, and especially wrapping him up in a towel when he got out of the pool.
Swim lessons were a little tricky for Mac, as they can be for a lot of kids. However, he was trying to swim with partial paralysis on half of his body from cerebral palsy. It was one of the many times in Mac's life, where he tried and then he tried harder. Sure, he'd get frustrated, but he kept swimming.
