Fynn Graham-Nye is our 10-year-old friend who is climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro starting this Sunday as an awareness and fund raising effort for Every Mother Counts. Check out the note he sent out to his supporters:
Dear friends and family,
When I was young, my dad worked a lot. He was a cardiologist who loved his job- just loved it. It didn’t strike me as too unusual until I became a teenager when you start looking for things to blame your parents for. Then I liked to point out how he wasn’t home much. But even then, it was hard to blame him too much for it.
My daughter was born two weeks early and because of military duties, I was present only via phone (I had planned and would have been home in time for the expected delivery). Fortunately my mother-in-law was there to help my wife (and hold the phone for me). I arrived, expedited, the next day and wrapped myself around my wife and daughter.
