May Dance

My friend, Brian, was the emcee for an event at Kirksville Regional Center. The center is a place for adults and children with special needs. They asked him to come to their May Dance and celebrate spring with the residents. He decided to get me involved, too. He volunteered me to be the official photographer for the event.

I'm so glad he did. I was brought to tears more than once while photographing the residents dancing and laughing. They were so grateful to have me there. Many just came up and gave me a hug for no reason. Their love was overwhelming.

On the way home, I couldn't stop crying. I was just so moved by their love of life and their joy.
