My friend Jen Levell told me on the phone a few days ago about an amazing thing that was going to happen for her daughter. Joslyn Levell, 14 years old with spina bifida and wheelchair bound, got a date to the prom from a famous person.
I knew Jen had been struggling with helping her daughter cope with disappointment. As a mother we want to do as much as we can. Sometimes we can only love them through the hurt.
Dreams of dancing may be hard to swallow for a girl in a wheelchair but asking 7 different boys to the middle school prom and getting told "no" might be a little more than hard to take. It would be devastating.
A chance meeting. . . and cinderella gets to go to the ball.

I have cried with joy several times this week with Jen, Joslyn's mom, when she told me on the phone about what was going to happen, also when I got the picture texted to my iphone and again when I read the story on ESPN website.
Sometimes good things can happen. I feel lucky to be a witness.
Josyln, I hope for many more miracles for you, baby girl!
