Brendan and his adorable best friend Gunna, made the trek from the city to Yellingbo to visit me this week.
Gunna isn’t only Brendan’s best friend, he is a dedicated Guide Dog and is extremely well tuned in and connected to Brendan.
After phone conversations with Brendan, I was excited to meet them both, and even more thrilled to check Gunna and find that Brendan had left no stone unturned.
If you’ve heard the term “sometimes it takes a village” this very much applies to Gunna.
The care he is given between practitioners and the knowledge that Brendan had accumulated means that he is in the best health that he can be in.
As if I wasn’t excited enough…I learnt that Brendan has travelled extensively with his sporting roles. Most recently as the captain of the Australian Blind football team!
I had to know more, and was grateful to have Brendan accomodate my enthusiasm.
Check out the link in the comments if you’d like to know more.
Personally, I have thought about this since learning about it and I’m sad that it isn’t more widely shared.
It’s true, that I meet exceptional people…and some days I’m blown away by the high quality of human beings that I meet.
It’s been a week of superb people and my smile couldn’t be wider if I tried.
