It's been one month today since our sweet Hazel returned to her heavenly home. I frequently find myself wondering what she's doing, who she's met, and if she thinks about us as often as we think about her. Today I might be feeling a little sorry for myself too. Yep, I'm human.
I was recently given the book "One Tattered Angel" by my Aunt Colleen (many thanks!) It's about a family that is caring for a daughter with health concerns similar to Hazel's. There is a line in it that I have been stuck on. It says, "Our church believes in the ministering of angels. I wonder how come you were asked to minister to an angel"? A day doesn't pass that I don't ask that question. I still have no answer. I don't even have the beginning of an answer and I have accepted that I most likely never will in this life. I wish I had a way to wrap up that statement or thought, but it stands alone in my mind.
Today, I just wonder why we had the privilege/challenge of ministering to a tattered angel?

because you guys are special!
Because all of us were not up to the challenge or privilege. How are you feeling. That is the update that I want.
i've known for awhile....why do you think i picked you as my bff? surprised you didn't know how awesome, funny, spiritual, amazing, strong, HOT, loving, selfless, special (in many ways :)), real, honest, etc. you are...thats just weird you're finding out so late :)
Because God tests us by giving us what we think we can handle plus a little more. We do the same to our students, to make them better, stronger, more capable. He knows what we are able to do better than we do. You succeeded and were given a privilege because he knew you were up to the task.
I don't think you are feeling sorry for yourself. I think you are a mother and father who love their daughter. I think of you often. I am hoping you feel better and hope to see you soon. Sarah dunn
