Sprinkle a Happy Dust
Last Friday, I attended the party that my friend organized for the pediatric cancer patient of PGH. It was actually our section Christmas party but I decided to skip the party so I can spend time with the kids.
My friend does this annually but it was only this year that I was able to join her again as I am always not available or I can’t take a leave from work. So I got excited when I learned that the party is on a Friday, because this means that I can join the party after work.
It was raining the whole day and the party has to be moved to a different venue and so they have to make do with the small cramped space that they have. But despite all the obstacles, it was still a successful party as you can see the happiness in the kids’ faces during the party. They were entertained with a good magician, they enjoyed the good food and all the food carts, the side entertainment like the photo booth and face painting and the lots and lots of loots that they were able to bring home.

I was controlling my tears while I was helping in the distribution of the food. They are so young and yet they are already experiencing a lot. My hats off to their parents as I don’t know how can I be strong in a situation such as this.
It was a very humbling experience for me. I realized my worries are nothing compared to what these kids are going through.
Congrats Ate Annie for another successful party. You indeed made a lot of kids happy again and thanks for making me part of it.
