When I was 6 years old, my dad and I made a plan to save the world one leg at a time. I sat in the passenger seat, Gameboy in hand, of his 2001 Toyota Sequoia seeing patients with him all up and down the Mississippi Delta through the hot summers. The seats were so hot that the ink of patient charts stacked in the back would bleed into the leather.

Dad had a mission. As a child of Jim Crow and the son of an amputee, he made it a point to provide service to healthcare to people who looked like him and came from what he came from. He had one rule: If insurance refused to provide a prosthesis, dad made one anyway. He never wanted to be a roadblock to someone walking again.

The old fella finally got a chance to get some decent rest seven months before we hit the finish line together. It’s bittersweet crossing this line without him, but the plan we made in 21 years ago is finally coming to fruition.

We did it pops. I’ll keep running the race you started.
