Tomorrow is my last day at work at the Muscular Dystrophy Centre and having just left there a few minutes ago, I couldn't resist coming online and blogging about something that happened today.
I'm not sure if I mentioned it in the previous posts, but one of the boys there is named Sanjeep. He's 17 years old and spent a lot of time isolated due to his condition. As a result, he's very shy and never EVER talks (at least according to his profile). Anyhow I've worked a lot with him since I got here and I've gotten him more involved with the games that the other boys play.... over the last two months I've witness an amazing improvement in his social abilities and overall happiness, which was also noticed by the owner of the centre and his parents.
Today I asked him if he'd like me to bring any drinks to the party we're having tomorrow since it's my last day. Very quietly he said "Pepsi".... an amazing moment for me, I was so proud to have heard him speak.
Tomorrow he will get some Pepsi.

Wow. This made me smile. That's amazing:)
Tommorow will be an emotional day, take comfort in the fact you have obviously made a big difference for at least one of the kids (and I should imagine many more). Some things are hard to measure; the smallest step being a mile for others. It is these little miracles that make what you are doing so rewarding (with the added bonus of being somewhere heavenly)
I am sure you will be missed x
Hi Dawson,
