Friendship Circle

It's going to be a great year at Friendship Circle!

Guest Post written by Cary Heller, a long time Friendship Circle volunteer and sports coach As I walk out the doors of what is certainly the greatest place on earth I look at the kids one last time. The thought comes How did I end up in this place? How did I end up sharing my life with these amazing children? How is it that I feel a sense of completeness every time I walk out these doors head held high? I give the last kid I see an ear to ear smile and a heartfelt hug. Another thought comes I think that more than anything else these kids have helped me to change my life. I hug him just a little bit firmer and hold back some tears. I take a step back and our eyes meet briefly. Our souls touch briefly. He says "Thanks, and your welcome" without saying a word. I understand him fully. I say "Bye Jordy, see you next week!" I walk to my car in amazement. Again- Just like every other time throughout the years. This feeling never gets old. I say to myself as I drive off- Its going to be a GREAT year at The Friendship Circle. I sure do love this place.
