There are many times I know I am missing out by not being able to follow Day around (some things I am better off not knowing haha.) Last year it was when he spoke to foster parents and social workers at a day long meeting - a friend who attended told me about it. Around that same time he also spoke to social workers, and one texted me that he had her in tears. Today he and his Youth Advisory group meet with our Governor to request change to benefit other foster kids. Many might think it is just a fluff meeting, but these kids do push along change! I have seen many of their requests change policy since Day came to us over 3 years ago!
Day is nervous, and probably uncomfortable in his suit (but I'm glad to know it is going to good use!) But, as I reminded him, he has already been in the Governor's home for an awards ceremony we attended a few years ago, and met his wife, which we have the photograph from. He is just as much a person like the rest of us. And I have seen him speak to prospective foster parents, so I do know how well he handles himself!
Even though I can't be there, I am so proud of him!
