It’s great when you connect with someone who truly understands.
When we enrolled our boys in day camp for the summer, we were ready for disappointment when it came to Liam’s class. We fully expected that we wouldn’t be able to sign him up at all – or at least have to keep him home from special events like cookouts or campfires.
What a beautiful surprise to learn that the person responsible for the children’s programs was herself extremely allergic to bee stings and carries an EpiPen with her. She grew up knowing what it was like to be excluded from things, so she was determined to include as many kids as possible.
We’ve been overjoyed to see Liam and Keeghan at their first class campfire, toasting marshmallows with their friends, with huge smiles on their faces for being a part of it all.
That is a true blessing to find someone who understands. I try to imagine sending my son to camp one day and I can't. So glad he was able to enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a joy that your sons were able to enjoy camp! I bet watching them really put a smile on your face....
