The Braseltons

One of the best things about traveling and camping is meeting new people.  We met a couple in a Motorhome across the way here in the campground.  They are not here on vacation as most people in the area.  Their granddaughter was at the Ronald McDonald house in NYC.  She is their son’s (and daughter-in-law’s) daughter.  She has cancer and they have been keeping us up to date with her status over the past couple of weeks after each visit.

They would describe how well the granddaughter would interact with the hospital personnel and how she required that she be kept in the loop with all medical discussions.  From the descriptions, you could tell that she is a special girl and that she is loved greatly by her family.

We were lucky last night as we were able to meet her.  Her surgery was postponed and she was able to come and visit with everyone.  We met her parents and got to see her brother again.  They are all so nice.  They kindly invited Zoe, Tammy and me to eat with them yesterday evening as they were cooking out.

Aisie (I have been avoiding using her name as I don’t know how to spell it.  It is short for her real name but I have forgotten that too.  Sorry…) amazed us!  Her vocabulary is superb for a four (4) year old.  She is a joy to be around because she tells her stories with such great detail.

Jasper was also a really good kid.  He played very nicely with Zoe and was really polite.

Just to run down who is who (in relation to Aisie): Dean=grandfather, Cynthia=grandmother, Derrik=father, Stephanie=mother and Jasper=brother.
