Wishbone Day 2012
click here to see how the world celebrated
“Hey JuBee! Why is Wishbone Day important?”
My spunky kid (again decked out in yellow well before May 6th) replied,
“Becaaaause I’m special mom!”
I think that pretty much captures why we celebrate Wishbone Day. For us, Wishbone Day is a celebration of triumph through challenges. Of course, it’s about raising awareness of Osteogenesis Imperfecta, but our celebrations are focused on rejoicing about all the magnificent things that happen between fractures.
That’s the stuff that makes our Ju special! Between the umpteen medical appointments and incessant mounds of paperwork to “manage OI,” Ajani has learned to climb a tree, make scones, ride a bike, skip, pop wheelies in his chair, clip coupons, read simple words, reciprocal climb stairs, count and add, check out library books, swing on the monkey bars, season chicken and self-advocate.
Ju’s such a confident, happy kid and he just loves to engage people.
Right now, he thinks that any and everybody he sees in late April and May “is wearing yellow for Wishbone Day too Mom!” and most people “have bones like me.” I am so pleased that Wishbone Day gives him another opportunity to celebrate himself and all that is special about him. In Ajani’s words, “People should celebrate Wishbone Day because it’s a party for my bones and they can learn how to be my friend.” Atta boy Ju!

Being a Humanitarian simply means caring for other human beings and doing what you can to help.
ShelterBox currently has over 200 ShelterBox Response Team (SRT) members
in almost 20 countries around the world. They are at the frontline of
the ShelterBox humanitarian effort, being responsible for the successful
delivery of ShelterBoxes to those families who really need them.
Response Teams are made up of highly trained volunteers from all walks
of life, who will drop everything when they receive the call to deploy.
They have responded to over 180 disasters in more than 80 countries and all have their fair share of inspiring stories to tell.
In 2008, the United Nations General Assembly designated 19 August as
World Humanitarian Day (WHD), with the founding resolution calling on
all Member States, international and non-governmental organisations to
commemorate the day annually.
