Phoenix Children's Hospital

So I volunteered today for the Phx Children's Hospital - I did not get to work with the children ) : But I helped run around and get things needed for the Rainbow Camp next week. The Rainbow Camp is a camp for children with cancer. I was told every year they have a memorial service for the children who could not return to this year's camp. I could have cried. My heart also was torn in two when I saw the little children walking into the hospital or leaving the hospital - for whatever reason - maybe their sibling or friend or relative was in there suffering or maybe they had to go for a reason of their own. Then I saw a little guy just sobbing on his mother's shoulder as she was trying to calm him down. I went to say hello and she said he gets a little disoriented after surgeries. Surgeries- meaning more than one - that really tore me up. Thank God for my healthy babygirl. I know I could not be a pediatrician watching children suffer who look to us, the people who are supposed to make them better, to help them and I would truly die each time I couldn't help that child. God bless pediatricians. We must all remember our blessings. Really truly realize how hard some peoples lives are - and try to somehow someway make their burdens a little lighter, their days a little brighter . . .

That being said . . . here is my quote for the day . . .
