day 8:

{a moment}

Last night I went to the Developmental Center for mutual - expecting the usual wheelchair dance. They asked for a couple girl volunteers to do a special project.

I volunteered.

We followed a kind Kindergarten teacher to a facility/house, where we met several sweet women.

We painted their nails, cut out playdough hearts, traced cookie cutters with makers, and danced.

I loved it so much.

These women are so in line with Heaven. They take joy in such simple things. Their smile lights up their face in such a pure way. A compliment makes their day. Hearing you say their name means so much.

And as I stood there, swinging my hands back and forth with Kaylee, swaying to Frank Sinatra, I felt happiness.
