This picture brings back memories. My kids never visited babies. But they visited young children. They were awed just that they played a sport and handed out baseballs and softballs or stuffed animals had such healing power in the moment. They were amazed they saw themselves as no one special and the kids perked up when they visited.
The kids from Tennessee are probably considered gods to young kids right now. It has a tremendous positive effect on their day.
When my kids were old enough to get it I told them as I’ve told people here, if you think life isn’t fair look at what these kids have to deal with.
I’ve never forgotten an experience I had in a parking lot almost 34 years ago. My daughter had just been born. The pregnancy was difficult. It was a big relief she was healthy. As I walked across the bank parking lot I saw a little girl in leg braces. All I could think was how unfair it was and started crying.
