| My favorite part of visiting the Caring Cabin by Cliff Ellis |
 |
One of my favorite things about visiting CCA’s Caring Cabin is reading the guestbook.
The words remind me of why families need this wonderful vacation home. They need a place to escape to and create precious memories together. Time is so easily lost in the day to day struggle of fighting their child’s life threatening battle. The Cabin is a place where time slows down. A place where laughter, smiles and hugs last longer and moments shared with family and friends are not soon forgotten.
For a moment during my last trip to the cabin, I started feeling sad about the change in weather and how that would affect family visits. And then I remembered the guestbook. It doesn’t matter what time of year it is or what the weather is doing during a family’s stay, the entries in the guestbook still talk about the amazing time that was shared. During the winter months, families sit by the huge fireplace in the great room, singing karaoke, playing air hockey or pool. In the summer months, families go boating, play on the lake, build fires and roast ‘smores.
The memories shared at the Caring Cabin are not affected by what Mother Nature is doing outside. The weather may change, but the guestbook tells the story of how time at the Caring Cabin gives families memories that last well beyond the change of seasons.
