It was a wonderful event!! I feel very blessed to have been able to participate and paint Kaidence's face(and other members of her family).
My favorite moment was watching her dance to her favorite song. She is the cutest little girl!
I pray other children waiting for organs will someday get the chance to dance to their favorite song too because someone is willing to pay it forward at a time of deepest grief.
A part of some little boy or girl is beating on today becuase 2 years ago, grieving parents had enough love in their hearts to give the gift of life so that another set of parents would never have to share their same grief.
To that child's parents... Your son or daughter's heart beats on, and I saw your baby dance in the park today too! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! :-)
