Air National Guard: A GREAT DAY!

Dallas' physical therapist, Jessica, has a friend who is a pilot at the Air National Guard in Charleston, WV.  She arranged to have Dallas' meet this guy on Friday.

So Friday afternoon, me and the kids, met Jessica and her kids at the Air National Guard to meet Jody, the pilot.  Dallas was super excited.  As were the other kids.

It was wonderful!  Dallas got to see the planes, he was able to get in one of the planes and see the cargo area, sit in the cockpit, and explore.  He was also able to see the firetrucks.

By the end of the day, Dallas wanted to give Jody a hug.  After their hug, Jody pulled his unit patch off his uniform and handed it to Dallas!  His eyes got so big and he had the best smile on his face.  It made me cry.  It was so touching, so thoughtful, and it made Dallas' day.

Not only did Dallas get a lot of PT in during this visit, he had a great time and made a wonderful friend.

Jody told us any time we want to come back to visit, to let him know, and he will arrange it.  It was absolutely amazing!
