Emme - A Very Special Artist


I have a little friend in Portland, Oregon. Her name is Emme Ek. She is the daughter of Nicole, one of my good friends and the little sister of Austin, one of Zach's best friends.






Two years ago Emme participated in a Flat Stanley project at school and sent us her "Flat Emme". Our mission was to take pictures of Flat Emme in North Carolina. We took Flat Emme to Lowes Motor Speedway, the Blue Ridge Mountains, Uptown Charlotte and even to Duke University. It was a fun family project.













We have been fortunate to have Emme's brother Austin spend time with us in Charlotte. He was here this summer for two weeks and went to see all of the places Flat Emme ventured.

Today little Emme is sick. She is in the childrens hospital in Portland and has just had a brain tumor removed. We are praying for her and her family. She is a sweet little girl with a beautiful smile, wonderful heart and a terrific spirit. Please say a special prayer for Emme and for her family.
We love you Emme!
