So Grateful - Thank you!
Hi Rotarians,
I am sending you these photos of Michael on his new chair and on his computer! I don't know how to thank all of you for your generosity, and your support for my very special son. Michael is on his computer so much during the day, and we have been doing a lot of research on the German army, the Wehrmacht, which was the regular infantry during WWII. After we watched the documentary, Generation War, we were both very surprised to learn how much the regular German army was against Hitler and his SS, after the war started. So, Michael and I have been researching that, and we have both learned so much!
I am also going to send you some photos of Michael in his very special outfit, that he only wears on his birthday's! Michael also has an "army room", where we built a table for him
I am also going to send you some photos of Michael in his very special outfit, that he only wears on his birthday's! Michael also has an "army room", where we built a table for him
to display his WWII miniatures that he has been collecting since he was about eight years old. Michael has no short term memory, but he certainly knows when even
one soldier or item on that table has been moved! When my father visited us, right after my bilateral mastectomy, and Michael took him into his "army room" to see his table, my father broke down into tears. It looked so real to him, and he was so proud of Michael! My dad's passing, has left such a hole in Michael's heart. My father was in the OSS in WWII, and he is
Michael's "hero".
Please share these photos and emails with everyone involved on Michael's behalf. I am so very grateful to every one of you. You have made a very special
Please share these photos and emails with everyone involved on Michael's behalf. I am so very grateful to every one of you. You have made a very special
young man, very happy. Being home bound, is so difficult. Imagine, not being able to go outside to enjoy the sound of the birds singing, and the wind blowing
and the smell of the flowers, because all of these things make you so over stimulated, you must stay inside every single day of your life. Michael can now see the whole world on his computer...because of your gift.
Very sincerely yours,
Ginny
