Well my last few wraps up had to move to twice a week to accommodate all of the amazing things that you did for the people in the community and then the things that people did for us. I have another wrap up to fill with more things that were done Christmas and through our terrible snow storm but I thought it would be fun to ask you to share your favorite holiday story at the hospital. It can be something you participated in, something you saw given, or just something you want to share.
There were so many to choose from but for me it was Christmas eve when Lori Velasco and her family brought dinner for the inpatients in New Brunswick. Lori had already told me that she had made a promise when her son was in the hospital over Christmas, she promised herself that she would come back and help patients and parents through the holiday. Her family brought in all the food and then she introduced to her family friends. These weren't people who were related, but really close friends. When I thanked them for joining the Velasco's, this particular Mom said to me, “we sat on the other side of the bed praying for a miracle following the accident. Our prayers were answered and now there is no place we should be on Christmas eve.”
Of course I was fighting back tears. I get it. I am the one who tells everyone I can that you guys create miracles, but to hear it from someone who had been a visitor and supporter in the Velasco's journey reminded me of the amazing impact we have on people's lives.
So what is the story you would like to share? It can be silly or serious. Thanks in advance for sharing!
