Every year for the last eight years I have dedicated myself for at least a week to a camp for children with cancer and their siblings. So this summer like many summers before I set out to volunteer for a week at this amazing camp dedicating myself to making these Special Important Brothers and Sisters (SIBS) feel like they matter and that what they are going through is important and that just because they are not the ones with cancer doesn't mean that their feelings don't matter. It's am amazing opportunity to help build up these kids self esteem, make them feel important, and give them lots of attention. This year did not work out so well however. We had been warned that something was going around and to be aware if we started feeling off. Well, come Tuesday I was feeling off, by Thursday I was full blown sick. The diagnosis? H1N1! I got the swine flu. It was truly awful but I am definitely on the mend now. I am just grateful for othe time I did get to spend with these boys and for the little bit of camp I did get to experience. I hope none of my campers get sick and of course there are always family camps and there is always next year.
