Cooper Roberts, 8-Year-Old Paralyzed in Highland Park Shooting, Continues to Push Forward, Mother Says
"...We are inspired by your strength, inspired by your dedication, motivated by your modeling of what absolute selflessness looks like and we see your daily acts of love," she statement"You are all role models to us. We want to send holiday wishes of love and strength to all the fellow caregivers out there. Know that we look forward to continuing to learn from you. You are a total inspiration to us and a blessing to your family.
"...We can do so with confidence because we are reminded every day of this through your acts of kindness and love that the world is a remarkable place, filled with great people who go out of their way to care for others..." she said, in part."I have been wrestling for some time about how to write this update. Certainly, for us, this has been a year unlike any other. Our entire lives have been completely shattered and we are working as best we can to put the pieces back together.
Progress and recovery physically and emotionally are slow and difficult. The support and care our family and the boys have received from this community -- a community that has been so hurt itself -- is unreal. Our religious community, the boys’ school, our Highland Park community and the entire North Shore …you are our family and we love you. You saved our lives.
We are working with intentionality each day to lean into gratefulness and appreciation. Some days, leaning into gratefulness feels easy to do. Other days, when Cooper is hurting so, so very much or when Luke is struggling…it can be very hard to lean into gratefulness.
