Brenley's MS Walk 2013 in memory of her Papa

Sometimes it's the little steps or the little things that make a big difference. Brenley raised $675 for her MS Walk in memory of her Papa; an amount that wouldn't have been realized without many of you reading this. While she's only young at heart yet, through an experience like this she can learn what it means to give; learn of the sacrifice of others; learn to support others; and learn to feel empowered by determination. This year's walk was "Way easier" than last year for her... here's to many more steps for many...

Thoughtfulness of an old soul...

Before 10am this morning, barely out of bed and awake, Brenley came bounding toward me wanting to use her EasyBake Oven. She wanted to make heart cookies.

As she was preparing the mix and such, it came time to roll the minuscule amount of dough into four balls to make the cookies. She looked up at me and said,

"Huh?! It only makes four cookies? That's not enough for everyone who will be at the church!"

I had to smile. She was making cookies for the reception after her Papa's funeral.

Big heart. Small heart cookies.
