I absolutely loved taking care of TJ, he was the light of my day & the best patient a nurse could ever ask for. I’m privileged to have know TJ, my daughter feels the same. No child/patient has ever touched me the way TJ did, he was very special. Every time I see a ladybug he is the first thing to cross my mind, those joyous times & happy memories will never leave me. I keep a ladybug on my dresser to this day. You & Troy are two of the strongest people I have ever met. Someone I know is going through a similar diagnosis & I can only pray they understand & cherish every day with their child the way you did. I hope the best for your family & TJ will always be in my heart. Here’s to wonderful memories that last a lifetime!
Sincerely,
TJs nurse (Michelle)
