One of Margret's desires was to go see a live concert by her favorite singer. We did that. And here is photographic proof. Note: Margret did not normally use a wheelchair. The distances we intended to cover on foot in the city, and at the speed we intended to travel, she would have been exhausted and miserable, so I rented one. The folks at the rental place cheerfully added holders for TWO oxygen tanks on the back, so we had the one in use, and a spare. Thanks guys!
Margret got to see Times Square in the rain. Not exactly dancing in the rain, but you are encouraged to use your imagination.

but she much preferred being inside the gift shop, picking out something to bring home and gift to her friends.

Hi Ann,
Thanks for your thoughts that you left on my blog. You really summed it up much more beautifully than I did! It is really a beautiful privilege to be able to listen to my patients' stories and worries. I hope that I can at least give them a measure of comfort even if I can't do much personally to help them. I do my best with providing them referrals for appropriate services, but sometimes the best thing is to just listen.
Thanks for sharing these beautiful stories of your daughter. I've only read a few entries on your blog but I plan to revisit and read more.
You're welcome Liz.
Appropriate services are wonderful, but sometimes just a little bit of comfort can mean a great deal.
I'm glad you stopped by, and I welcome you back any time you want to read more about my daughter.
