DELETEDSCENES

We first planned to spotlight Lake Highlands resident Sarah Greenman in our annual home design issue (April 2015) due to her proliferation as a blogger on a popular home décor website. But her family was so interesting that the story evolved into a feature about them, Sarah’s art and her youngest son, Charlie, whose birth and life story is astounding. We fell right in love with Charlie and his witty big brother Walker. Charlie has epilepsy, craniosyntosis and cerebral palsy, but parents Sarah and Jack say their little boy has been a catalyst for a million good things. He’s an astonishing child, Sarah says, “and we do not need to fix him.” Our photoshoot fell on an icy day in February. Charlie had been suffering a cold but seemed excited to have visitors. We hunted the Greenman home deliberating where to set the family photo, settling on the living room, which contained some of Sarah’s canvasses — printouts of Charlie’s damaged brain inspired her paintings. It took time to stage the lights, though, and Charlie fell fast asleep on his dad’s chest. We decided to not wake him. Instead, in whispers, we instructed Sarah and Walker to squeeze in close to Charlie and Jack. Armed with camera, our shutterbug mounted a borrowed stepladder, something the selfsufficient Greenmans had handy. Sleepy Charlie prompted the perfect shot. This academic year, Sarah serves as the PTA president at Skyview Elementary, where Walker is a student. Last summer, the friends and neighbors pulled together to raise money to help the Greenmans to purchase a handicap-equipped van.
