Tonight's picture was taken in May of 2009. Mattie wanted to go for a walk, but did not want to go in his wheelchair. So instead, I helped him into his wagon and out we went. Mattie was very cognizant of looking different and it bothered him that he couldn't walk or run like his friends. Thankfully, Linda, Mattie Child Life Specialist, gave him this wagon as a gift. It came in super handy! We still have this wagon, and whenever we use it, we think of Mattie.
Quote of the day: Fatigue is the best pillow. ~ Benjamin Franklin
Benjamin Franklin may have been onto something, because with the exhaustion that I feel, when I hit the pillow I immediately fall asleep. Since Mattie died I have major issues with sleep. Except during Walk season. I am so busy from morning until after midnight, that by the time I am ready for bed, I am out!
While we were working on signage for the Walk, the Girl Scouts at Mattie's school were refocused on the corn hole boards. A continuation of last weekend's corn hole production. Today's goal was to paint and design the corn hole boards.
