"Be glad of life because it gives you the chance to love and to work and to play and to look up at the stars." --Henry Van Dyke

Come Out And Play!

"I thought it was rather odd when my friend from the nursing home asked me to motor her wheelchair through the puddles that formed from the melting snow. I didn't really get it, but I went along with it. We were out on one of our walks or what I like to call one of our"weekly strolls" because I stand and she rolls. Adhering to my friend's peculiar request, we were off on our watery wheelchair adventure! We splashed through each puddle together and came out of each experience, slightly damp and smiling." So begins this heart-warming real-life story, reminding us of the child that lives within us all.
