Hi
Every week gives me an opportunity to be touched by the children that I entertain as a clown. I do magic. What's not to love? I do balloons. What's not to love? And I do face painting. (need I say it one more time?)
This weekend I got a wonderful chance to be a part of a dual birthday party, a 6 year old and her 2 year old cousin. For what ever I added to their party, the return was tremendous.
One of the children was physically challenged. I wasn't aware of that when I was hired or even half way through the party. The mom asked if she could bring over her daughter, it was then I found out she was in a wheelchair.
So I made her special balloons for wheelchair. The mom was so touched that I put a heart inside a clear balloon added it to another balloon for a handle and made her a string of balloon bubbles to make it look like a royal scepter that was never to be held by this little princess' hand. I attached it to the back of her wheelchair.
The mom went to place a rose close to where I had attached the balloons and I mentioned that the two didn't go well together. She then turned and gave me the rose. I said "Oh no that is for your daughter"
The mom said "You have made such a difference at this party. The children are so happy. You have met my angel, may this rose help you remember her." That rose is in my house and long after I have had to throw it away, the memory of that little one and her mom and dad will live long in my memory.
Thank you.
