Last week, Traci Zeller and I traveled to New Hyde Park to attend the Grand Opening and Gala celebrating the Ronald McDonald House Long Island Project Design 2014. These events marked the completion of our experience at the house. As we left the house on Friday, we were a little saddened by the culmination of the project.
Every time I design a room and bring it to fruition, I weave fragments of myself in the space. Special moments during the projects evolution turn into memories I carry with me long after the job is complete. This osmosis exchange was especially true of the Ronald McDonald experience. I was only in the house on three occasions, but each time, I left with a memory I will cherish for the rest of my life. The moments I experience at Ronald McDonald were brought on watching families weary from the battle of fighting for their children's lives, random acts of kindness and brotherly love. It was in these moments I took time to be grateful for my less than perfect life.
