Christmas in the hospital

It's Christmas Eve. I just got home from the NICU. My sweet 4 day old nephew is sick he has a disease in his intestine and he is in so much pain. He gets to have surgery Tomorrow morning. His First Christmas.

He is so strong. Hasn't cried much. I got to go in and see him with my sister, his mother, and spend some time with him. I sat there and watched my sister stroke his head (he really likes that) and look at him making eye contact with him her eyes filled with tears. The spirit was so strong and sweet. I even cried. The love that filled that room... i will never forget. It made me remember what Christmas is really about and how much our lord loves us, each one of us.

She let me sit with him and stroke his head. I fell in love. I sang to him and he seemed to like that. I also just talked to him and told him how proud i was of him and how strong he is. I felt like he understood what i was saying. He had something special in his eyes and he would look and me and i knew he knew who i was. Then he would make these charming faces that would make me laugh. He melts your heart.

Please pray for him and his Parents.
My sister and brother are so strong. The lord won't give you trials you can't handle. They will be hard and my hurt but if you endure and have hope they will be blessings and make you stronger. I promise.

Merry Christmas. Remember Christ our Savior and love he has for us.
