The Flog – The Fabry Log

I talked today about dropping our son, Colin, at a camp high in the Rockies. It's 9,200 feet in elevation. There's a beautiful lake near the cabins. A water slide. Canoes. And lots of Frisbees.

I think the thing that choked me up most on the program today was the thought that he could think that we, as his parents, need a break from his diabetes care. A kid shouldn't have to take care of his parents.

So far we haven't heard anything from the camp. He's probably being taken care of better than we can with all the medical personnel. Still, I can't help but wonder how he's doing, if he's made any new friends, and what kind of stories we're going to hear.

I wrote Colin a few letters for his reading pleasure. One was from our dogs, Pippen and Frodo. There were a lot of "bark" and "woof" references and I'm sure it will be a big hit with him.

I hope you enjoyed the program today. Wasn't the easiest I've ever done, but it was from the heart.
