A reminder that someone cares

Thirteen years ago on August eighteenth , Mike and my third child, Caitlyn Lee was stillborn.This had to be the worst thing that has ever happened in our lives. Through time though we have gotten past things. Notice I didn't say over... but past. Though many have forgotten the date of( If not the event itself ) this is a date that will for ever be burned into Mike and my minds. The fact that Robby was born a year and three days later makes things stand out even more. Without going into specifics I will say that at the time there was some miscommunication that led to hurtful things being done or not done as the case may have been. Thankfully this is all in the past and is chalked up to miscommunication and through the years hard feelings have been let go of.The reason that I am bringing this up is that on the eighteenth, as has been the case for twelve years now, I received a card from a dear nurse telling me that she remembered and was thinking of us. How sweet is that ? The even sweeter part is that she was not the nurse who was with me that excruciating day but one who I had met months later through the nurse who was with me. Doing this (for these particular nurses) is a general practice, I guess. In all of the bad that we hear of people in general now a days it is really something to experience this kind of love from someone who could just as well forget about me . So please let me take a moment to thank Nurse Jo Ann for this thoughtful gesture. It made my day. You truly are an angel !
