Tonight's picture was taken in February of 2009. Mattie was pictured with Sally, the story book lady. Sally is an artist who donates her time to visit the pediatric units and educate/entertain the children. Sally is gifted and though Mattie usually refused to work with volunteers, he approved of Sally. No matter how badly the day was going, Mattie always wanted to see Sally. Even if he couldn't leave his room, Sally was invited in! That may not seem like a big deal, but given our circumstances this said volumes. This photo was taken in the child life playroom. Sally was celebrating African American History month. Sally read stories and together she and Mattie played music together. It was a beautifully memorable moment.
Quote of the day: When you have once seen the glow of happiness on the face of a beloved person, you know that a man can have no vocation but to awaken that light on the faces surrounding him. In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer. ~ Albert Camus
It is 7:30pm and I have had a full day of appointments, driving around, bathroom runs, and so forth. Therefore, I am signing off for today, in hopes that tomorrow will be better. A big thanks to all our loyal readers, who continue to read my words, and choose to remain with me on my life's journey. I can't tell you how much that means to me.
