If you’d have told me a day to the hospital to see three specialists with my medically needy child would have been the best day ever, I never would have believed you. In between appointments we delivered books to the eye clinic, oncology clinic, special needs clinic and endocrine clinic. We met and shared a book with Amor, a beautiful child with Rett Syndrome. Katherine showed compassion and kindness and after previewing a book we were donating, walked the book to Amor’s lap and gave it to her and then talked to her about it. Amor’s grandma explained that Amor has lost the ability to speak and move her muscles typically and that they’re hoping for a cure. Katherine seemed to know what being nonverbal was like and was so patient. She turned the pages for Amor and talked about the characters. Katherine and I squeezed in a visit to the Zoo as well and enjoyed every second of it- the new baby gorilla, tigers and giraffe were so sweet to see. This journey is turning out to have a lot more pretty sights to see than I ever imagined!!! Best day ever!
Once again- thanks book donors. Paying it forward is such fun- couldn’t do it without you!
