I spent the weekend packing up my parents and Monday and Tuesday moving them from an assisted living in Virginia to SumterPlace here in the Villages. Dealing with endless questions, problems, and just plain fatigue from managing two wheelchairs, I was feeling pretty sorry for myself Tuesday at Dulles Airport waiting to board the flight to Orlando. Then the gate folks told me that we had been moved from number 1 to board to number 2.

A young child named Samuel arrived in his power chair with tubes everywhere and suction and ventilator and all kinds of stuff to keep him alive. In addition to his parents, there were 2 carts full of equipment and supplies to keep him alive and safe for the journey and 2 nurses to help care for him. He is a Make a Wish Child on his way to Disney World.

Put into perspective, my problems were pretty small.
