How Sweet It Is...

I frequently bemoan life with food allergies on our blog, since they are such a huge part of our lives. We have quite the system to keep Ms. Morgan safe. Being a kindergartner, birthdays are a really big deal so there are frequently celebrations at school. We have a stash of cupcakes at Morgan's school so her teacher can just grab one out of the freezer and Morgan can take part of the fun. But isn't as much fun, being different is never fun. (I know this, I once worked on my hyena laugh for a whole weekend in elementary school so I could sound like everyone else, didn't work). She never complains about his, because she knows that the consequences of her eating what her friends are eating could mean her throat might close and her life could end without immediate intervention. (Yes, we've had that conversation). So you can imagine just how special it was when one of Morgan's sweet little friends told her mom that they would be having a celebration at school that Morgan could participate in COMPLETELY. Not eating something similar but eating what everyone else was. How sweet is this? How incredible that an almost 6 year old is so in touch with what her friend is feeling when she has to do something a little different than the group? It isn't the first time this little gal has gone out of her way to make sure Morgan's needs are not only met, but that Morgan is feeling good. So thank you AGAIN sweet little friend! You make this mama smile bigger than you could ever imagine....
