"When You End Up in Holland", Kelly Astone's Story

Kelly was my next door neighbor. She was in diapers and crawling when I met her twenty years ago. Though her older brother and sister were good friends of my children I rarely spent time with her. Nearly twenty years later on most Sunday mornings I have the privilege of sitting next to her at church. Sometimes she sits quietly with her head gently resting on her dad’s shoulder until she falls asleep. At other times her dad carries her to her wheelchair where several of us take turns strolling her through the halls so that her voice won’t disrupt the service.
