    you know, its understandable how you feel. but am sure she will walk fine, maybe need special insoles in shoes or need special shoes but she will be fine, its you who is sad. Cosmetically she wont wear sandals but so what.

    just enjoy your baby and try not to worry too much but get help for yourself if you are finding the sadness difficult.
