Home for the BBQ Benefit
Another good week at Duke and home again for the weekend! YEAH! Emily’s Encouragers BBQ today was a HUGE SUCCESS. 1400 dinners in 3 hours! WOW! Emily came for a while during the first hour of the benefit. She enjoyed getting pictures made, coloring and visiting. Not to fond of wearing a mask but she did so and smiled with her eyes! Granny Mom & Nana supervised the coloring book activity and really enjoyed visiting with all the supporters that came out. Paw Paw caught up with recent activities of fellow church members and Grandaddy ran out to get more BBQ when we ran out! What a tiring day for all volunteers and what a joy to sit down afterward and talk with Dawn & Eddie. It was the first time they’ve been alone with all the Emily’s Encouragers committee since Emily got sick. We laughed, we cried, we rejoiced in Emily’s life. An exhilarating day for all involved. Now we count down the final days of radiation and look forward to Emily’s homecoming for a few weeks before chemotherapy begins.
