Luc spent the past week in Panguitch with his grandpa. In his eyes, Panguitch is as close to heaven as you can get on this earth. He so enjoyed being alone with his grandpa. They went out every morning and every evening hunting deer. He shot at a couple and had near misses each time. Luc and his grandpa are "two peas in a pod". They love being outside hunting and fishing, they love Panguitch, and they love each other. I feel so grateful he has such an amazing, invested grandpa. Luc told me that while he was in Panguitch he was able to forget all about the challenges that face him in his life. It was truly a vacation in every since of the word.
Before Luc went to Panguitch he was able to get his gun. It was almost exactly 3 weeks from the day we went to Cabela's and took his picture with the gun. I think that is pretty incredible that a 13-year-old could raise $260 in less than 3 weeks. He received some donations from family members, he sold some things on Ebay and he kept a positive attitude that he was going to get his gun before the deer hunt. He even pointed out to me that when he bought his gun he was wearing the same t-shirt he had on in the picture. He said, "Mom, the visualization really works!" His friend, David, and his dad and grandpa took him to Cabela's to buy it. Randy, David's dad, even bought Luc some ammo to go with his gun and treated them all to dinner. He had such a great time. He was so excited to get his gun that he was shaking. He has never been so excited to get anything in his life!
We are including some cute pictures of Luc (BALD IS BEAUTIFUL!!) with his gun and with Cecilia and Zac. They all love each other so much. Even though they have their times of contention, they enjoy being together and making each other laugh. I am a very blessed mother.
