Holden

Sorry Rach, but I have to post these pictures! I got the chance a few nights ago to go see my lil nephew Holden in the NICU, and what an experience it was. Farrah came along too and met Rach and I there. Her eyes were full of tears the whole time, which of course made my eyes tear also. It's such an amazing feeling being in there, all of the little babies and machines and beeping, yet so spiritual at the same time. Rach has been blessed with some awesome nurses, one in particular, Linda. Seeing her with Holden was unreal. You can tell she truly cares about this lil guy. She talks to him and takes so many pictures of him, she is honestly an angel. There is no other way to describe her. Watching her care for my sweet nephew was so touching, it makes me emotional thinking about it, she is without a doubt fulfilling her mission here by being with these sweet babies. Thanks Rach and Farr for your spirit and bringing it into that environment.

Rach, I admire your strength and positive attitude and your faith in the Lord and His plan for you. You are truly an inspiration, I love you. I feel so blessed to be around you Rachel. I can't imagine the feelings you feel right now, but I've seen a glimpse and I know its hard, but I want you to know that whatever happens, you, of all people, can and will get through it. I have no doubt in my mind that Holden will be just fine because of your unwavering faith and trust in the Lord. Your boys are so blessed to have you as their mom, really. No matter how much I spoil Lennon and give him kisses and loves, at the end of the day, he wants you. I can't imagine a greater feeling for you. Thanks for bein who you are. Sisters stick together :) I love you and I love helping you. The more time I spend with you, the better :)

Anyway here are some pictures of the lil guy, Rachel had the chance to bathe him and I'm so glad I got to be there, and snap some photo's!
