I signed us up for family camp again this year. Joni and Friends is a Christian organization that provides this ministry for families affected by disability. We have attended camps in Pennsylvania, Indiana, Minnesota, and Michigan over the past 5 years. This camp has been a HUGE blessing to our family.
Here is Nathan checking out a firetruck on our first day at camp last year.
Nathan loved his STM (Short Term Missionary).
On this night there was a petting zoo and a square dance. Nathan LOVED the dance!
This little trolley was pulled by a John Deere. We would ride it down to Lake Michigan not to swim, but just for the fun of the ride.
Packed up and ready to drive back to WI.
When Joni learned of our loss she took the time to send a sweet note to us. She also included the book Heaven... Your Real Home. I have been reading it and have found it to be very helpful.
I am filled with mixed emotions as I think about our next Joni Camp. I love the time spent with other families that know where we are coming from. It is a time of learning and worshipping God and a time of just relaxing. Knowing we will be going with only one child makes my heart ache.
