In each of the Rory’s Bags of Love we have a special prize.
Rory needed extra help at school and went to resource everyday. There, she worked with so many amazing teachers.
One of the things Rory absolutely loved was earning prizes for her hard work.
Two weeks before she died, she kept telling me she was working toward getting chocolate ice cream.
The week before she died she came home with this chocolate ice cream eraser.
She carried it around with her. Pretended to eat it, licking her lips after each pretend bite.
She loved this prize!
After she died, I carried that eraser in my pocket for weeks.
I carried joy with me, Rory’s joy.
Our hope is that the kids that get these bags will love their little special prizes as much as Rory did.
Joy, I hope they will feel joy.
