Magic!

A child (in the US) will be diagnosed with a life threatening illness every 38 minutes.  We are one of those families who faced such a diagnosis.  We are one of those families fighting for our child's health.  It is an all encompassing battle.  You live it 24/7/365 until it consumes you.  It permeates every aspect of you life. 

This past week, we were given a break from this battle.  No, our child was not 'cured'.  For one week, we were given time to enjoy life with as few restrictions as possible.  Someone else took care of the details.  Someone else cooked and cleaned.  Someone else made sure we could enjoy a few hours of fun.  All we had to do was choose what we wanted to do and when we wanted to do it. 

It was MAGIC!



These are only a few of the pictures taken around the Give Kids the World village where we stayed.
Awesome place.
Awesome people.  (Mostly Volunteers)
Awesome experience.

More later.

That is so special. I'm glad you had that time to just "be."

It looks like all of you had a good time.
