21. An Amazing Welcome Home

Medford, OR

This is a mediocre photo with my tiny camera of the Medford airport. I went to pick up my sister last night in Medford, OR. She was returning from Costa Rica. The bigger story was when I arrived. There were dozens of families with placards saying "Welcome Home Ethan", "Team Ethan" and "We Love Your Smile".
Ethan is a small boy that has been in St. Jude's Children's hospital in Tennessee with his Mom for 2 years battling cancer. His cancer is in remission now. This is him as he walked out the door and saw all of his supporters.

"St. Jude is the only pediatric cancer research center where families never pay for treatment not covered by insurance. No child is ever denied treatment because of the family’s inability to pay."

What a nice idea to welcome him like this. I'm sure it will be an adjustment for him after being away for so long.
