Q was honored by the Christopher Foundation. They got Bret Boone to come meet him. They gave him of a bunch of baseball swag and invited him and 5 of his friends to the Padres game of his choice in 2022 where he will get to meet all the players and go on the field.
That’s not even close to the best part.
Q was asked to thank people for coming. He did that and so much more. He told them about what it was like to be a kid with T1D. He thanked the scientists and doctors and donors. He broke hearts.
He did it in two languages while being held up to the microphone by Bret Boone.
There are no words. There has never been a more proud mom. Ever.
I hate that he suffers. I still find myself dealing with the shock and grief of watching him survive. At the same time, I thank God every day that he is the little boy that I got. And I tell him that every chance I get.
Here are some pics of him trying to pass the time while he waited for his turn on stage. It was so boring. He was the only kid there but as always, he found a way to get by.
I love you more than words could ever say little buddy. You are the strongest soul I know. I am so proud to be your mommy.
That's my awesome Grandson. I am one proud Gramma. I love you so much Q.
