Most years our family traveled to Disney World. As Sammy got older some years we were blessed with two short trips there. Disney was always, without exception, wonderful to Sammy and all of us. Because of Sammy's hips he used a wheel chair to get around when we went there. Sammy loved the rides but he lived for the parades and the Characters there. One year we were there for Sammy's birthday and as many of you know Sammy got a button that announced his birthday celebration. Epcot was a favorite place to see the Characters because they were so easily accessible to everyone. As we got in line a staff member noticed Sammy and moved us to the front of the line. (Disney is very good about giving children with disabilities the "right away") Then all of a sudden Minnie came running over, then Donald then Pluto, Mickey, Chip and Dale and lastly Goofy came running over from where he was out in the hall. It was priceless. Sammy was so excited and hugging everyone. People were crying in line and grabbing their cameras and it was like the Hollywood paparazzi was there! Sammy was on cloud nine the rest of the day and a large poster hangs in Sammy's bedroom and at Sartoris Drug store to forever mark that day. Thank you to all the beautiful people at Disney World who treated Sammy like a VIP each time we were there and giving us magical memories!
It doesn't get any easier, you just get better at it. God is good!
