Today we got to meet our first recipient of some of our fundraising money. I'd love to say it was a really heroic and inspiring experience - and of course it was, if you want to look at it through that lens. But what I was really struck by was the humanity of it, the day-to-day issues. This woman - Angela - and her husband - were there, her in her wheelchair. And you think about the little things. Not being able to own a normal car. Him having to feed her at a restaurant because she can't work a fork. This was just a normal woman, who had 2 boys and used to like to run and ride her bike. And now she can't.
That's what stays with me.
Also, the UVA campus is gorgeous. Good job, Thomas.
