There are no coincidences .........

There are no coincidences I truly believe everything happens for a reason.   I have met many people being a nurse and after  Nicole's passing I did not think I wanted to be a nurse again. A friend told me that I have a gift and so do our patients we each give to each other.  The other day I met a woman who I needed to help start an IV.  I told her my name and I left when I went back in after being assigned to her I asked her about her tattoo on her inner wrists. I was curious.  it was for  family members she had lost. I then showed her my tattoo and she said is that your name even though I had just told her it was Teri.  I told her it was for my daughter I had lost in July she said no I lost my daughter that is her middle name.  Come to find out she had lost her daughter in May 2012 two months before I lost my Nicole. We sat and luckily I was able to talk and sit with her and we helped each other so much. There was a reason we were in each others lives that day. She had her 2nd baby and they names her Nichole. 
      Yesterday I had to go meet a family and check in on a baby. I said oh what a beautiful baby she was so cute, I said what is her name.  Her Name in Emily and then  talking further her brothers name was Luke.  I did not want to tell her that was our first dogs name who we loved.  So I told her my name and she said oh that is my moms name are you a Theresa I said a Theresa Marie she said that is her name.  It was cool. All the signs we are given each day. I write them down now because it helps me get through the days.  After being back and working with my patients. They are helping me each day to know why I use the gift I have and to be be a nurse and to help others. That is why I went into this 26 years ago. 

      People are put in our lives for a reason.  I have  Faith, My loving Family and great Friends . This journey is so hard we all have our own journey.  Another quote I read today was:   Don't expect everyone to understand your journey. Especially, if they've never hd to walk your path.  I am so thankful for everyone that is helping me with my journey. I am glad for those in my life and the people I meet.  Learn to listen to each other you never know what you may get out of something in someone else's journey and path on this earth plane.  Thank you to everyone who has come into my life for  a reason.   Every night when the girls were little I whispered in there ears "Thank you for picking me to be your mommy."  I love my girls with all my heart.
