The Seven Year Old Girl who is my Hero

Today I’m going to tell you a story about a little girl called Scarlet, and what she did for my son Bear.  This story begins about 18 months ago. Bear’s older sister Boo was a Joey’s Scout, and they had an outing to Funland, a nearby arcade. Siblings were invited, so I took Bear along too.
