Tonight's picture was taken in October of 2008. I know that this photo had to be taken on a Friday! How do I know this? I know because Mattie was in the hospital hallway watching the Chemistry Club do their hands on activities and experiments. Mattie LOVED this Club and he developed a friendship with Chris, the Club's president. No matter how Mattie was feeling, he always wanted to see Chris and the Club. That day, Chris brought red roses to the unit. He gave the kids a rose and then they got to dip it in dry ice. Once the rose was frozen, they then threw the roses on the floor, and literally they broke in a million pieces. Mattie loved his rose, and though he watched the process with the other children, he refused to dip his rose into dry ice.
Quote of the day: We have trauma, and we have grief. People die, and we find it baffling. Painful. Inexplicable. Grief is baffling. There are theories on how we react to death, how we cope, how we handle loss. Some believe the range of emotions mourners experience is predictable, that grief can be monitored, as if mourners are following a checklist. But sorrow is less of a checklist, more like water. It's fluid, it has no set shape, never disappears, never ends. It doesn't go away. It just changes. It changes us. ~ Mira Ptacin
The article is titled, If You Want to Know If Someone's Gen Z or Millennial, Just Check Their Socks. Truly the debate over whether you wear ankle socks or like your socks pulled up further seems thoroughly ridiculous to me. If you are curious, I prefer ankle socks like millennials. But I am NOT a millennial, so I am not sure how you classify those of us pre-millennial?!!! Nonetheless, the article highlights the reasons why millennials love ankle shoes. While reading it, I was bobbing my head up and down in agreement! With the world around me in chaos, the distraction of walks and silly articles like this work for me!
