From the time I received this baby lamb, I have always brought it with me and was with me for all my treatments. I know the nurses found it weird and cute. But it helped me deal with my illness and my hope and wish that soon I will have to retire her and would not have to bring her anywhere. She was always inside the pouch of my purse.
And that wish has come true, she is now retired, hopefully for good. She now rests on my night table and has been there enjoying her retirement. My wish now is that she won't be coming out of her retirement. So to Gladys, I appreciate the thought and you don't know how much this lamb meant to me. Another one of those little things that had become a treasure.

The card from the collection has this little poem
Please be quiet, don't make a peep
This little lamb is trying to sleep
I need my rest just like you do
When I wake up, I'll play with you.

Tears formed in my eyes when I read this post. I am sorry that we are not there for you during the difficult times but it sounds like you have got some really great friends and a little lamb to get you through.
ReplyDeleteIt seems you get emotional and I get emotional from your comments.
