Leo has been doing very well! We are having to cut down on his outdoor time a little bit due to heat, but he has still been getting out a good bit. We just try to go early, and he is set up with cooling pads, cold packs, umbrella and fan. He had a great trip to the zoo last week with family, and is enjoying running down by the river at Saluda Shoals. He also likes going to the grocery store and running errands. We have run into some awesome prayer warriors the past few days that made a point to say hello to Leo!
This story in particular brought tears to my eyes. We were at Crooked Creek Park here in Chapin earlier this week and a large group of kids that must be in camp were walking on the trail. As Leo and I went by, we heard lots of little voices saying “Hey Leo! Hi Leo! Hey!” I said, y’all know Leo? And they said Yes! We know Leo! One boy said “I did his run!” They were so excited to see him! We were running by at the time so I didn’t get to see all the faces of who they were. After we passed, I stopped and asked Leo if he heard all those children cheering for him, he gave me the sweetest smile and yes blink, and then I lost it :)
Thank you so much to all the awesome parents out there that are sharing Leo’s story with their children. That are including them in prayer and teaching them that we are ALL different in different ways. But we are all the same and created exactly the way God intended. Thank you for teaching them to say hello! They will not forget this as they get older, and they will be just as loving as adults. We hope this will be the most well educated and all inclusive generation of time.
Thank you so much.
