The note and poem I included in the journal of the Bowl-A-Thon.
If you've never seen this poem before, it's worth the reading. If you have, I'm sure you will enjoy reading it again! Have a great night!

Dear Friends:
Thank you for attending the Brittany Bowl-A-Thon!
Nothing is more special than to be surrounded by friends and working towards a great cause. Tonight’s charity is very special to me. The Children’s Learning Center’s motto "Capability Not Disability" is exactly how everyone on that staff approaches each day. The children are the most wonderful and special children. Our donation tonight will have a direct effect on their lives. The soft gym will give them something that will allow them to get out of their wheelchairs and experience the world around them!
Thank you for your support (and your raffle purchases). Please review the wonderful list of major sponsors and the contributors who were kind enough to donate to this worthy cause. Be sure to thank them when you go into their stores!

A special poem dedicated to our angel Brittany!
"Special Child" by Sharon Harris

You weren't like other children,
And God was well aware,
You'd need a caring family,
With love enough to share.
And so He sent you to us,
And much to our surprise,
You haven't been a challenge,
But a blessing in disguise.
You winning smiles and laughter,
The pleasures you impart,
Far outweigh your special needs,
And melt the coldest heart.
We're proud that we've been chosen,
To help you learn and grow,
The joy that you have brought us,
Is more than you can know.
A precious gift from Heaven,
A treasure from above,
A child who's taught us many things,
But most of all - "Real Love"
