G had an opportunity to travel to Utah as an FSY counselor. He missed his flight because he was asleep when his grandparents came to pick him up. It's so frustrating that being deaf and having sleep difficulties create such a terrible dynamic. His grandparents were so helpful, taking him to tampa in the middle of the night to catch another flight to get there on time. My brother picked him up and helped him get to the meeting.
M was working in Maryland this summer and we had a tight plan that involved her flying in the day before she was to move into her dorm. Unfortunately there were bad storms at BWI and she was stranded for 22 hours with delayed flights, canceled flights, everything! She was on a flight at midnight when they canceled it. She called P who was already driving to pick her up. Some moms heard her conversation with dad and adopted her. They took her to the front of the line where a man gave up his seat on a 9am flight. I was able to pack up her things and pick her up in Nashville, drive straight to Auburn and get her to the mandatory 4pm meeting. What a day.
I'm grateful for the good things they are involved in and the kind people who helped them get there this summer.
