May 29th, 2015

I’m leaving for the beach and an email comes thru an eight year old with a skin condition.  I don’t have time to process as I’m walking out the door.  I’ve worked in a dermatology office and this one scares me.  I tell Simi I don’t think so as I don’t have time to look into it.  Lee is also feeling the same.  I ask her not to send the file.  I don’t want to always remember a sweet face we said no too.  I feel a little bit in a fog.  I’m enjoying two days with friends and try not to think about it.  Sunday I come home and the reality hits.  Did we make the right choice?  Why didn’t I really l stop what I was doing and research this little girl.  When I think of it the tears come easily.  I picture a little eight year old with no parents.  Monday I email Simi and ask if this precious one is still available.  She is no longer on the list and I feel relieved another family is pursuing her.  I however do think of her often in the next two weeks.
