These days, beautiful weather means the Jackson's are on the move. No more waiting around for "next weekend" because who knows what next weekend may hold. And to be honest, I am beginning to like this mindset. We packed up and went to the beach this past weekend to do Cameron's most favorite activity...putt putt. We were in Myrtle Beach a total of 30 hours (almost half of which was sleeping) and played 6 rounds of putt-putt golf. It was great. He had a blast and I think Connor had fun too. We did have an addition to our car this trip, a wheelchair for Cameron. He loves to get out of the house but gets tired rather quickly so we got this to help. The first few times we pulled it out, I had to fight the tears. It's not the easiest thing to see your child in. And I had to fight the desire not to FIGHT...literally...the people who gave me that pity smile. Cameron on the other hand kept thanking us for his new wheelchair and telling us how much he loved it. Only Cam would have such a perspective!!!
For me, there is nothing more peaceful than the ocean. Looking out across the open sea makes me feel so close to the Lord. Last night there was a full moon over the ocean that simply took my breath away. I told Cameron as we stood on the balcony, "If God can create THIS for us here on Earth, just imagine what Heaven will be like." Love to you all!

Oh Leann, you brought back a flood of memories when you said you had to fight back the fight because of looks regarding the wheelchair. Chris was once wheelchair bound on a trip to DC. People can be so cruel with their looks. He said he learned so much about people that weekend! Leave it to Cameron to always be positive and to give us all strength. Glad you had a great weekend and could partake of putt putt. Hugs and kisses to Cameron and I need to challenge him to a game of Putt Putt. Lynda
