Delivering Food For Families this Thanksgiving morning

Epcot parking lot row marker
So coincidental that we parked in this row (16, as in the number of volunteer years) at Epcot yesterday.

 

Delivering Food For Families this Thanksgiving morning. We began doing this in 1999, the year before our son was born. We then did it on Christmas morning 1999, and Easter morning 2000. Those are the three times each year it’s offered.

Our son was born later that year, 2000, and we’ve been doing this three times a year for 16 years.

Each of the 48 mornings seem so insignificant by themselves.

Note: We missed this past Christmas due to a Family visit in Pennsylvania.

The aha moment arrived quietly yesterday

Dear Son, i finally figured out why we hug everyday after school (in the parking lot) before getting in the car. And why we’ve done it everyday for the for the past 13 years.

So you could start understanding how important it is to have things you can count on no matter what.

Remember yesterday’s storm and how we ran to the car in the rain?

Remember last night the final thing i did was enter your room in the dark and kinda crush you with a hug as you were trying to fall asleep?

Better late than never.

Some things are not worth missing a single day.

After school program for one

Hugs
Hugs are free, simple and easy.

 

After school programs help many students, privileged and underprivileged.

Is there was one after school program that could be administered every single day?

And what if the cost was nothing?

Would you ensure your child was enrolled?

We are finishing up the 11th year in a few weeks.

Haven’t missed a single day.

After school.

A program that requires one parent and one child and about 10 seconds.

A generous hug, a little kiss on the cheek or shoulder, and an “I love you”.

Do you have end of the year holiday traditions?

Why?

For how long?

How’d they start?

Why do you keep them alive?

Ever do something for so long you start to take it for granted?

Maybe, right?

Two days ago Thanksgiving morning began with what started 15 years ago as expectant parents with a dog.
