“He’s going to ride a bike, but differently. He’s going to run, but differently. He’s going to play sports, but differently,” Warren said.He embraced his prosthetic even more because of an incident that happened, not to him but to a beloved family member, when he was about two-and-a-half years old. His grandfather, Don Armstrong of Calgary, was hurt in a workplace accident.“I was working the night shift.
His leg was so damaged that, despite multiple surgeries, it couldn’t be saved and it needed to be amputated.“In order for me to have a stable life, that’s what I had to do,” Armstrong said. “It’s a change, but we just keep fighting forward.”It brought grandfather and grandson even closer together. The pair now both have prosthetics and are mirror images of one another.“If he didn’t have that I would kind of feel alone in the family. But since he does have it I don’t feel alone,” Ricketts said.
