HUGS FROM TANNIS WELCOMES YOU
Why we do what we do
One night when Tannis was four, we had to take her to the ER in the middle of the night. We just "grabbed" her and ran. I didn't bring diaper bag a blanket or anything.. At the ER, in the bed next to us, there was a older woman who had fallen and broken her hip. James and I talked to her and her husband for about 20mins. We talked about her grand kids and Tannis. After the nurses had taken the woman to her room, her husband came back with her quilt from home. He covered Tannis up with the quilt, kissed her and said "God bless you little one" smiled and left. We never saw him again
