THE SKATE PARK Whenever I find a video for Have You Seen This and do the write-up, I sincerely hope that I can bring a little bit of light into your day. It's a privilege to get to do this and hopefully, every once in a while, I succeed in my goal.

Today I have no doubt this video will put a smile on your face and make your day that much better.

Unfortunately, I do not have as much context as I would like, but the small bit I do have is still pretty great. This boy has cerebral palsy, but thanks to some clever minds, this apparatus, and a woman the commenters say is the boy's mother, he can enjoy skateboarding despite his physical limitations.

This rig keeps the boy upright and on the board as the woman pushes him around the skatepark. It seems like the woman is having a great time as she pushes the boy around and makes sure he's ready for the ride. Then at the end, the pure joy on the boy's face melts my heart every single time. His innocence and sincerity are palpable. There is no denying he loves skateboarding.

I applaud the boy for his enthusiasm and courage to not let his physical limitations stand is his way. I applaud the minds behind the apparatus and helping this boy achieve a dream. And, I applaud the woman for exhausting herself to bring this child some joy and for her willingness to do it all again, after she's had a breath or two.

Watch the video, let it brighten your soul, and then share it with others to spread that light.
