#tbt – Baby John

March 23, 2017 by John Falloon Leave a Comment
BSA Thursday baby

This #ThrowbackThursday is going way, way back. Looking at the face of that little baby, you would never know that bones and tissue in both legs were malformed and I was missing bones and numerous toes. I was living in the Shriner’s Hospital for Crippled Children, where I grew up for seven years, about four … [Read more…]

#tbt – My Airport Friend

BSA Thursday airport

It’s #ThrowbackThursday, going back to killing time before a flight at an airport. It’s no secret I’m an animal lover and you’ve seen me interacting with plenty of creatures here, but giant bears are one that I think I’ll stay away from, other than the friendly (aka plush) versions, like this guy I met in … [Read more…]

#tbt – Hiking with Bentley

January 19, 2017 by John Falloon Leave a Comment

#ThrowbackThursday to almost exactly three years ago. Bentley (who you met as a little pup last week) is now an amazing dog. This was a beautiful January day, when we enjoyed a hike through Michael Douglas Park in Santa Barbara, CA.

#tbt – Puppy love

January 12, 2017 by John Falloon Leave a Comment

I am definitely an animal lover. Maybe it’s because I love caring for creatures who need our help, and who in turn, love us unconditionally. Today I’m throwing it back to the day I met little Bentley, around six and a half years ago. Needless to say, he’s not so little anymore!

#tbt – My first grandchild

December 29, 2016 by John Falloon Leave a Comment

This #ThrowbackThursday only goes back a handful of weeks to the day I met my first grandchild. New babies are amazing miracles, and this little one is absolutely perfect. I know that having personally suffered through a terrible birth abnormality has affected my life greatly, not only physically with the childhood amputation of both legs, … [Read more…]

#tbt – A nice day golfing

December 22, 2016 by John Falloon Leave a Comment

#ThrowbackThursday to a gorgeous day golfing. I love golfing. As a child, I wasn’t allowed to participate in many sports, as my parents would not have been able to afford to replace a prosthetic leg if I had damaged it. Of course, I didn’t understand that reasoning and just felt excluded. Now, as an adult, … [Read more…]

#tbt – My little daughter

December 15, 2016 by John Falloon Leave a Comment

#ThrowbackThursday to when my oldest daughter was just a little girl. It feels like only yesterday, and yet also like a lifetime ago. She has grown into an exceptional woman, but I can’t help but wonder how I would have parented differently if I had learned about being Self Aware back then…

#tbt – My biker days

December 8, 2016 by John Falloon Leave a Comment

#ThrowbackThursday to my short-lived “biker” days- in fact, for a while, I sold bikes! Trail bikes like these ones gave me a way to spend time with my brother. My whole life I have been determined not to let the fact that I have two prosthetic legs slow me down. As a child, I was … [Read more…]
