October 19, 2013 Leaves, haircut and Newtown Day

Saturday October 19, 2013   Sometimes even the most typical of days can reveal a few little miracles, and a few little not so miracles.  The orange socks are in honor of a beloved coach and father, Chris Stenz who passed away a couple of years ago.  Treadwell park is now surrounded by 26 beautiful trees that were planted after 12/14.  Daniel sat for the entire football game, happily.  Henry is so happy all the time. The weather this year has been nothing short of fabulous. Perfect Fall. Perfect October weather.  

Gayle is an angel, she cuts Daniel's hair as a kind gesture and way of helping me out.  I am very grateful and would go to her either way, because she has been cutting his hair for years.  I realize at the football games how many REALLY nice people we have in our town.  I'm often an isolated person, which contradicts my social nature, so I love being out with people.  John is completely the opposite.  There are very few people he will be bothered with, but he enjoys talking to the kids.

The amount of kids who know Daniel makes me feel so warm inside.  Like Max, for example, the brother of one of our football guys, he seeks Daniel out all the time and spends time actually talking TO Daniel with a meaningful heart.  Those little miracles, special little moments, are always happening.  And they are always happening to everyone, all around us.  

I video tape, and take pictures, and blog because I am also a realist and I know that some day, I will value the treasures I have shared.  Daniel has a magic in his soul that simply can't be missed, IF you stop to see it.  And he has the cutest little pup on the planet, so that helps too.
