another sweet angel...

one of my cute little patients passed away today. i don't usually post much about work or specific patients that i take care of, but as a nurse there are a select few patients that you take care of that touch your life and forever have an impact on you. this was one of those patients. he was an amazing little boy who fought such a hard battle with an amazing mom who was by his side almost every minute of every day doing whatever it took to make him have a better more comfortable life.

please take a minute to keep his family in your thoughts and prayers. take time to tell those you love how important they are because life is so unexpected and can not be taken for granted.

goodbye, little man.

all things christmas...

another circle journal headed out to continue on it's journey. this is my entry for patty's cj in the holiday cj swap. her theme was 'all things christmas'. i had a hard time with this one, trying to figure out what i wanted to do. i love christmas trees, so i grabbed my favorite christmas tree stamps and then decided to add little pieces of christmas to it. and this is what it evolved into.
