A sheltering angel, so nothing can harm you.

About 6 months ago, a little girl lost her life to what Doctors say was the swine flu. The CDC has yet to report to her family whether or not it was actually the swine flu. I was fortunate enough to meet the mother of this little girl. Around 4:45 a woman came in (we close at 5), I was far past ready to go home so I was dreading helping her when I saw this woman bring in a bedroom accent pillow. Little did I know, just what this woman was going through, she was not shy to tell us either. She had only married her current husband a few months before her daughter died. They had been living separately, her in her house with her kids, her husband in his house with his kids. After her daughter died they continued living separately, her in her house with her now kid, and him in his house with his kids. Until one day her 16 year old daughter came to her and told her that she did not want to be the only child anymore. So they are now moving everyone into one house and have come to me to help her create an oasis, a get away, a private place for her daughter to call her own. She had a certain bedspread in her house with her sister, and she wanted to take that with her into the new house, however she has a bigger bed at the new house, so her mother went to target and bought the SAME bedspread only a size bigger. I did a quick 15 minute color consultation with her and she left promising to bring her daughter back to finalize the colors when they were ready to paint. I can not begin to tell you how honored I feel that God has allowed me to help this woman create a space of her own for her mourning daughter. Once again, God has shown me just how blessed I truly am.
