I Can't Walk but I Can Crawl: A Long Life with Cerebral Palsy (Lucky Duck Books) Review

The significance of I Can't Walk but I can Crawl is graciously understated. The book is of the amazing life of Joan Ross, how she overcame obstacles in her life and what it took to live as "normally" as everyone else. Joan provides significant insights into the circumstances that parents will encounter in raising a disabled child. I learned more from reading I Can't Walk but I Can Crawl than from attending years of parent groups. Which compelled me to write the following letter;

Dear Miss Ross,

I just finished reading your autobiography and was compelled to drop you a note.
My daughter Katie who has cerebral palsy just turned 21 years. I believe that I feel for her as your father did for you.She is the center of my life. You were very fortunate to have such wonderful parents at a point in history that did not favor our disabled children.

I wanted to thank you for writing such a wonderful book and allowing me to see into the future for what may occur for Katie in relationship to my health and my wife's. Katie has come a very long way but will never be able to live entirely independently. Regardless we are immensely proud of her. I try to prepare her for the day that I won't be here any longer by telling her that I'm getting old and that I will "croak" some day. She argues that I'm not old and that she will keep me young by making me carry her around. So far it's working!

The strength that it has taken for you to accomplish all that you have was graciously understated in your book.

I chose to read your book because I have been working on a book myself about how we as parents have raised our daughter and thought that perhaps it would offer insights that I had missed. You taught me lessons that could only have been taught by you. For this I thank you and will always remember the time we shared; you speaking and I listening and learning how I may be able to better serve Katie.

Respectfully,

Harry Lieb & Family

I can highly recommend I Can't Walk but I Can Crawl by Joan Ross. It is an amazing story of determination, insight and the realization of what is possible!
