I had the pleasure of working with Megan for around 3 years. Megan was such a beautifully mischievous soul. There were some days I swear I wore more of her food than she ate, unless it was her very favorite things to eat like chocolate mouse/pudding of course.
She sure did love giving us a run for our money some days lol, like when attempting to talk to her and she would pull her cochlear off or turn her head to avoid you and you couldn't help but say "Meggy I know you heard me, keep that on silly" and she would burst out laughing.
She loved walking, bike rides, her ball, playing piano and simply sitting next to you and in some cases on top of you lol. She was never shy about grabbing your hand, taking 1 finger and rubbing your nail against her palm. Her laughter could light up a room and she always had the most perfect timing to get everyone laughing. If you fell, stubbed a toe, choked on your lunch or the atmosphere just felt a little heavy, she knew how to get the crowd laughing at the perfect times.
Megan took such pleasure and joy out of the simple things in life and it certainly was contagious. Matter of fact, that is one of the things in life she taught those around her; how to enjoy the little but valuable things in life and how to slow down and be with her in the moment. She didn't give you much of a choice in that regard sometimes. If you came up to her to say hello, you would be staying with her for a while, she would make sure of it by pulling you down to sit or she brought you in for an embrace and you were NOT to let go first. She would be the one to tell YOU when she was finished hugging. We were all more then willing to oblige of course because Megan always gave the very best hugs.
The family taught us what advocacy, determination, devotion and love can do. They are the setting example of all of those things and more. My heart is truly with them as they navigate through this difficult time.
You are loved by many, will be missed by many, but also never forgotten by many either. Megan, you touched the people you met and left a lasting impression. We carry you in our hearts Meg.
Your Intervenor.
