Hopefully the people who are there with Cindy at Camp Casey are being uber supportive because we want Cindy to someday look back on all of this and feel a sense of accomplishment and to feel that she did the best she could, and went above and beyond what most mothers might have been compelled to do.
I know that she is Casey's hero.
