Emily’s Smiles through Difficult Trials

Sorry this is so late folks! We’re doing some major work on the website. Be patient. Here is an update from Dawn about July 4. It was posted, then disappeared…..

Hope everyone had a great 4th of July! Trey enjoyed the camp provided through Hospice. There were ten in this class, and Trey opened up moe this week about Emily, even at home. He actually shared his story to the class first and Friday, the last day, when the parents were there for the last hour, he found it hard to even say anything about the week. I even had a hard time. Still so new for us. I knew he would have a hard time with the adults watching. He had a busy week, camp from 8:15am till 2:30 then Vacation Bible School at night. The VBS class Trey was in had at least 16 boys, if not more, and needless to say the loudest and most entertaining! The 3 girls decided to go to another class. Can’t blame them. All the classes had a wonderful time. Parents watched the kids perform on Friday night.

We had a 4th of July cookout at Stephanie’s office in Surf City on Thursday and watched the fireworks, just like last year. All I could think about was Emily, and what a great week we all had last year with family and friends at the beach house on Topsail. We had a whole week with no pokies and treatments. I can recall every day that week, what great memories. Trey misses her alot. He thinks and talks to her before he goes to sleep. Their rooms are side by side and every night they would talk to each other from their beds, then she would tell him, Trey, go to sleep now.

Monday and today, Trey worked with Grandaddy at the spec house building a fence around the backyard. He made a paycheck, so he can go to Myrtle Beach and play at Myrtle Waves. Tomorrow we are going to my uncle Jacks and Aunt Wanda’s beach house at Topsail , 1st and 2nd cousins will be there so it will be a fun day for Trey. I know Emily will be watching and playing too.

Thank you for the messages.
Love, Dawn
