Skit night.....

And last...

I was so moved by this beautiful girl that I just felt I couldn't go on to the next summer event, without sharing this little experience. My friend Brittany by an unfortunate event is now almost completely blind, yet she looks at life with an energy of hope, forgiveness and joy....

As I watched Brittany hug her knees on the side of the bank next to the falls, I sensed the need to ask her if she wanted to get closer. Knowing that on her own she would not be able to navigate the falls. When she replied with a joyful yes, we were on a mission. In her excited giggle, I soon came to find out that she had never been to a waterfall before.

As we braved the frigged water she started to feel the spray of the water on her face and then she asked, "Can I put my hands in?" Then once her hands were in the water she asked, "Can I put my head in?" She slowly scooped up the water and splashed it on her face, her radiant and beaming countenance are something I will never forget. To see her experience something new for the first time made me appreciate so many things I take for granted.
