There in the doorway stood hockey star Duncan Keith. Cammy could hardly believe her eyes.
“She’s five. She loves the Blackhawks, but we were a little worried that she might not recognize (Keith) off the ice,” says father Bill.
Since Cammy can’t speak, she has the help of a tool, Tobii, which allows her to communicate. Obviously, she took the chance to talk to her idol. She asked Duncan how many teeth he’d lost during his career. Cammy had lost five, the NHL star announced he’d lost 10 in his career.
The exhilirating part came next. Cammy prepared to join Duncan out on the ice. With the help of a harness, she was attached to DUncan, who gently skated with her around the rink. They also scored Cammy’s very first goal, together.
Cammy can’t speak, but her facial expressions are worth a thousand words.
I practically wept watching this. Please share this with your friends if you were also touched to see how even small gestures can do so much.
