Tuesday 17th January 2012….as my Grandma used to sing “Count your blessings”
Linda and Guy invited me to drive them and a couple of friends to the town of Celaya about one hour away where the Children’s Cancer clinic is located, we went there delivering blankets before Christmas.
This visit was to deliver a great sound system for the clinic that had been purchased by members of Rotary.
We went in one vehicle and again received a warm reception by the wonderful staff and the presentation was made!!
This is the sign on the clinic wall!!
Which I think translates to “the difference between a healthy boy and a boy with cancer, is YOU!!!”
The clinic was very busy
We got the sound system working and it did not take long for this little girl to show us her dance moves!!
One of the girls had just finished her treatment and she took a liking to me (why can I not have this effect on other women)
Her name is Belin and she is 3 years old!!!!
She loved having her photo taken and then to look at the photo on the camera!!
What a humbling experience to be surrounded by such sick children and to see their smiles, their joy at such small gifts and to see the hope in the parent’s faces and the wonderful staff…like my Granny sang “Count your blessings name them one by one” I have so much to be grateful for and I try never to loose face of that!!!!
It was a great visit and I hope to come again before I leave SMA!!!
Back in town I went up to Casa Hogar to see the girls and got them to make Jerry a Birthday sign!!!
They look happy!!!! I have been told I can take them out again on Thursday so I am thrilled about that!
Tonight I joined Paula and Jerry to help celebrate Jerry’s Birthday..we went to Hecho's no music but great food …thanks for supper!!
Now back at Casita Doris listening to the Canucks hockey game on the radio…..and another one of those memory bank days!!!!
My Family back on the Bank in Nanaimo are all excited as they have a new addition to their family, BOOMER!!!!
I told them to name him Leslie… BUT what can I say!!! He looks cute looking forward to seeing him in the Spring!!
