Boy with no Legs Attends Parent’s Wedding
As the bride and groom walked proudly down the aisle, they were accompanied by their two year old son who just last year was extremely poorly and was now walking with them on his new prosthetic legs.
Jill Graham and Wayne Jones from Bowburn in County Durham finally wed at the Old Elvet Methodist Church in Durham City after having to cancel their wedding last year when just a week before, their son Robbie fell ill with meningitis. He was taken to hospital where he spent the next seven weeks recovering but the illness resulted in the loss of both of his legs, one just underneath the knee and the other just above it along with the loss of some of the ends of his fingers.
Just one year on from his terrible illness and Robbie was walking once again with his new legs. Thirty six year old Wayne commented that the day was amazing and that Robbie had battled hard to be with them. Jill who is twenty eight said that they wanted Robbie with them on the day they god married and they were both very proud of him on the day.
I am sure the service was extremely emotional for everyone, what a brave little man!
