Godiva

Tonight was really cool. I have been playing poker on Tuesday nights but I took a break from that to have dinner with Daniela and her mom. They are gonna be headed back to the valley at the end of the week so this was probably one of the last times that I would have a chance to spend time with them. We went to Amazon which was perfect because it was not all that crowded minimizing the risk for Dani.

It's not all that often that I get a chance to spend time with the kids and families outside of the hospital but when I do, it's always special. People are still people outside of the circumstance of their illness and Dani and her mother are the warmest, most down to earth people you could ever meet. After we sit down and chat for a few minutes, Daniela pulls a candy bar from her pocket and gives it to me. It is a Godiva bar with my name printed on a wrapper, now how cool is that?!?!?! This kid could have me in her hip pocket with a snap of her fingers, she is so sweet. How could you not love that smile? If that is the only Valentines Day gift or card that I get, my day will still be awesome. In fact, this 10 year old girl made my week.

Did I mention her smile?
