children, hospitals, stories, and service

August 14, 2012

i had an idea!

if you are the parent or close relative of a child who will be in the hospital for a while, and you want them to receive more mail while they’re there, i invite you to send me their information and address. i would be happy to send them a little note and one of my stories.

i was in the hospital for a long time when i was little, so i know what it’s like, and i am very good at sending random mail. if my experience means i now have the opportunity to make another child’s hospital stay just a little bit brighter, then i will count it a blessing.

consider this an open invitation.

please feel free to share it with anyone you think would benefit.

(that being said, may you never need it.)

p.s. just for fun, i used the healing brush on this photo, to clean up some of the lens flare on the left. it seemed so appropriate!
