So after Elder Holland's Conference Talk, a few months ago,"The Ministry of Angels"
I got to thinking about the aNgELs in my life. My wonderful family is the heart of my life. They lift me up, believe in me when I don't, teach me integrity, sacrifice, service and charity. My mom has given such a wonderful life with enormous opportunities to learn and grow. She always ALWAYS puts me, her selfish daughter first. I am grateful every single day, that she chose to adopt a baby girl from India. Where I would be without her, not here, that is one thing!
I am so blessed to know so many wonderful people. So many friends who give me words of wIsDom, Who LiStEn to me and let me pour out my heart, who lAuGh with me, and at my stupid jokes when they aren't funny! Yes. I am filled with aNgELs all around me!
Next, I work with dear sweet angels. These angels function differently than most of us do. They have their own way of communicating, eating, and some need help breathing. Their eyes are filled with pure light. Their sweet spirits are the closest thing to heaven I have felt. These angels are my sweet kids. My nursing patients. And I believe, they are REAL ANGELS!
I got their moms permission to post their pictures!
Meet Ryker
Cute boy in a cute shirt- (had to take a picture of him in the shirt I gave him!)
Ry Ry Loves to be sung too! And he doesn't even care when I get off key! Look how he is holding on to my hair!
Here's Jonathan
He Loves to be Held!

Cute Jon Jon!
Sweet Karson
We were on the Front Page of the Standard Examiner! The community had a fundraiser for the family. Tons of people came and it was a total success!.JPG)
Yes these little miracle babies are reminders to me that aNgeLs come in all shapes, and sizes! These families that I work with are amazing. I certainly would call them my own!
For all of the Angels in my life... Thank you
