SLP Buddies

As an occupational therapist, a rehab professional, we have a special bond with speech pathologists. Some of my best friends are speechies. We are the red-headed stepchildren of therapy. We come from the same bolts of fabric. Christine and I met at a pool gathering when we first arrived at the Vicarage. We talked here and there.

As the first semester came and went we exchanged FB messages, continued to see each other at various functions. As the turn of the year came and went, stuff happened and she was a support to us. She showed up, gave of herself, took the kids to the park, comforted and guided. As she was made a postulant and VIT we rejoiced. Our kiddos love them some Christine. They think she is the funnest ever. Nola has a special affinity for her. They are kindred spirits. Brynn LOVES her Apple watch. Elliot likes that Christine just lets her be. Dillon has her number, cause Christine doesn't say no. This past week while we were battling plague she brought popsicles and love.She frequently brings markers and bath bombs.

Christine has recently taken on the task of helping with the crisis at the border. One of the things I admire MOST about her is here ability to dig in and help. She does so with respect and love. She does so with her whole heart and with zero expectation of what will come from her helping. She helps because she is called to do so. It's a pretty amazing thing to witness. A great role model for our kids.

Thank you for being there for us. We are lucky to call you friend. We  love you and cannot wait to see where you are led! #FPB #VIT-SLP
