[8:19:53 PM] Jennicki: when i was a kid
[8:20:04 PM] Jennicki: a girl i went to school with was in a skiing accident
[8:20:12 PM] Jennicki: she fell and hit her head on a rock
[8:20:26 PM] Jennicki: and it hit her just in the right spot
[8:20:32 PM] Jennicki: it affected everything
[8:20:42 PM] Jennicki: she lost her motor skills and her memory
[8:20:46 PM] Jennicki: and it even changed her personality
[8:21:05 PM] Jennicki: she had to re-learn how to do everything from eating to tying her shoes to walking
[8:21:28 PM] Jennicki: and she went to a children's rehab center an hour a day
[8:21:34 PM] Jennicki: every day for a few years
[8:21:48 PM] Jennicki: and her parents maxed out on their sick time at work and couldn't take her every day
[8:22:01 PM] Jennicki: so all the parents at our school volunteered to take her on different days
[8:22:17 PM] Jennicki: and when it was my mom's turn, she asked me if I wanted to take the day off of school and go with them
[8:22:19 PM] Jennicki: so I did
[8:22:30 PM] Jennicki: and it was really an eye opening experience
[8:22:37 PM] Jennicki: watching kids struggle to walk and talk
[8:22:43 PM] Jennicki: anyway
[8:22:55 PM] Jennicki: there was a little girl there about 4 years old
[8:23:05 PM] Jennicki: she was in a car accident and had to use a walker
[8:23:25 PM] Jennicki: and she was re-learning how to walk again in rehab
[8:23:30 PM] Jennicki: and by midday everyone was beyond exhuasted
[8:23:50 PM] Jennicki: and Renee--the girl from the skiing accident--had a really close bond with this little girl
[8:24:06 PM] Jennicki: and the girl would climb in Renee's lap and they would just hold each other for a long time
[8:24:25 PM] Jennicki: and you could SEE the bond between them--it was really intense--they NEEDED each other
[8:24:58 PM] Jennicki: they would just re-charge and you could see the life coming back in both of them
[8:25:04 PM] Jennicki: it was a pretty amazing thing to witness
[8:25:17 PM] Jennicki: and lately that's how I feel with you
[8:25:37 PM] Jennicki: like I am just fading away until I talk to you again--I just need you to recharge.
