Jenna loves to make people
happy. She likes giving little gifts for
birthdays. Before the year started she
asked us if we could take her and one of her friends to the roller skating rink
for his birthday. I have taken Jenna
roller skating a few times during her lifetime.
It has always taken her longer to get her shoes off and skates on or
vice-versa than the time she spends going around the rink. She has never mastered the roller skate
however. I, on the other hand, spent
many hours on roller skates in the past.
I am no longer confident about stepping on wheels.
Yesterday we took her and her friend up to the
Big City of Roseburg and purchased passes for each of them. Her friend had gone around the rink a few
times without her. She struggled, but
did eventually get better at it – or so it appeared. She didn’t seem to notice that she had gotten
better as she still felt unsteady on her feet.
Her friend was sweet with her as he assisted her. She fell quite a few times but claimed she’d
been having fun. I admire her persistence.
