We just don't have enough words to describe how proud we are of our Sweet Virginia. A few hospital stays ago, Virginia was in need of a clean pair of pajamas. We were not expecting to stay as long as we had to, and I had not packed enough clean pajamas for her. Our nurse was kind enough to bring a pair to Virginia, but just happened to mention that they were running low. On the way home, Virginia said, "Mom, we need to have a pajama drive or something to give pajamas back to the hospital."
We were able to collect about 20 pairs of pajamas through her school to bring with us for her November infusion. She was so proud to hand over the pajamas, and I was crying happy tears! I have a tendency to do that, and now Virginia looks and me in these situations and says, "Mom, no crying in public!" I tell her, I cry because the kindness is so amazing and warms my heart so much, I can't help it!
After we came home in November our local Chamber of Commerce contacted us and said that they would like to help us with a pajama drive to collect more pajamas. We were so appreciative that they thought of our Sweet Virginia and of course said yes. We also had local photographer, SP Photography, join the cause. Samantha was so kind to offer her photography services for our drive. She came up with the idea that she would offer pictures with the Grinch, and if you brought a pair of pajamas, there would be no cost for the pictures. I have mentioned our community quite a few times, but I just have to say, we are so lucky to live where we do. Our community has meant everything to us through this journey!
So, are your ready for the amazing part....... Sweet Virginia's Journey, along with our community, collected 216 pairs of pajamas and 50 Scentsy buddies to bring with us and deliver to all the amazing kids at WVU Children's Hospital! The picture below is only a small part of what was donated, we had to fit Virginia into the picture! Our hearts are exploding with the spirit of the season, and our message to spread kindness really seems to be working. We keep telling Virginia that she has a big purpose in this world, and she always says, "Mom, I am just getting started!"
