Do you see an angel in this cloud? I did and so did my daughter, and that's why I took the pic and if you don't see it then you're a big boogerface.
Sigh.
I spent the day trying to come up with people who could donate things to the clinic to make the lives of parents and kids easier. Problem is, I am having difficulty trying to address the needs of the not-sick siblings. It's a hard thing to balance the needs of all the kids and it can seem really unfair that all Joey had to do to get a Walkman was get cancer. Heh.
And yeah, I know it teaches valuable life lessons about being glad not to be sick and being generous, etc. But still. Not everything needs to be a life lesson, you know? It's OK to say hey - this affects all of us and let's see what we can do to make it better for everyone, even if just for a little bit.
I have such delusions of grandeur. I want to hand out iPods and DVD players and dinners for parents. I want to do a whole bunch of stuff. I want a carnival for everyone where all the prizes are donated and no one has to knock over the bottles to get stuff. I want to raffle off cures and answers and moments of peace. I want to teach the world to sing. I want to give everyone a coke and a smile.
I want a mini van, dammit.
