Camp Smile

This past week Ellie spent 4 nights and 4 1/2 days at Camp Smile (http://www.campsmilemobile.org) in Mobile, AL.  She seems to have really loved it, and cried when we put her in the car to take her away from constant loving attention from the WONDERFUL and AMAZING staff there (especially her beautiful and loving counselor Pranaya--pictured immediately below with Ellie on the first day).



On the last day there was a Talent Show.  One of the young men name Michael Rachad (a college graduate) with what appeared to be severe CP, confined to a wheelchair, hardly able to speak, wrote a song which was played on a CD (sung by someone else) while he sat on stage.  WOW!  Powerful!  It was called "I Asked God".  I am not sure if there was a dry eye in the place.
