Upon my arrival and some brief chit-chatting I presented Billy, Dominique's Father with the envelope from Dreaming of Three. He pulled out the letter,a check for over one thousand dollars and began to read aloud my sentiments I had placed from pen to paper. It was so humbling to see a grown-man of such stature to get choked up and witness the truly emotional tole it has taken on this family. I cannot even imagine being in his shoes and seeing my child endure what Dominique has. Dreaming of Three is so honored to be able to give these families support in every way we can. Our financial help may be small now, but I think our physical support is making a bigger impact than any amount of money can assist.
Dominique was in much better spirits this visit. His release I'm sure was due in part to his more lively nature. He was sweet as always and we had a good talk. He promised to tell me all about his trip to Disney World when they get back in June! What a perfect vacation for such a deserving family.
So now they should be making there trip back home to Abilene where they can finally start getting back to a normal life. Dominique will continue to get his treatments there and will only have to come down to Fort Worth occasionally. It could not make me happier to see him feeling better and be able to get back to being a kid again. Good Luck Dominique, I hate to see you go but I wish you well!
