Dad uses special shoes to help paralysed child walk

A beautiful story that shows us anything is possible.
There's not much a parent won't do to ensure their child is happy.
We guess it is a trait that has travelled through each generation, where parents feel it is their innate responsibility to make sure their kids are happy.
And there's nothing wrong with that, especially when our kids are young and impressionable.
Making sure that your child knows that they can be happy with what they have, but also strive for more, is something we wish came with a handbook.
But some parents just know what to do and how to do it.
One such parent is a father whose daughter is paralysed. In a series of pictures, we see a father using a device called an Upsee Harness with his daughter.
Debby Elnatan, an Israeli mother of a child with cerebral palsy, created a new game-changer for disabled kids, called an Upsee Harness.
The Upsee Harness is described as "a miracle harness that lets parents help their disabled children stand, walk and even kick for the first time in their lives." (People)
It is proof that a parent, in this case a mother and father in their own respective ways, can do anything possible to allow their kids to experience the sensation of happiness.
