A pair of sand-filled navy blue Crocs. Doesn't seem like much. But it is.
These belong to Miss Áine Clare and while we've never limited what we thought she could do in life, this little scene from last week moved me.
Áine had returned from a beach and boat (!) trip with her brother and sister and the rest of HBIC. (Ciara is volunteering there this summer.) After getting everyone off the van and cleaned, fed, and down for a rest, I set about putting away their things and there sat these little sand-filled shoes. Not DAFOS, not orthopaedic shoes, no socks even. Just a pair of child's summer shoes. Filled with sand.
