I am an office manager in charge of 6 publications and we have the blessings to have special needs paper carriers employed by us. One of my young ladies is non-verbal so I sign to her and she makes efforts to speak every day to me. We have this thing, a special bonding that I have loved for some time now. I share my lotion with her when she comes in and that happens to be a different scent every day. When my girl is all lotioned up I proceed to my desk to give her tiny stickers; she has a sticker fetish. I watch her remove her Chiquita banana stick to put mine on. The smiles are consistent and I look forward to seeing her each day.

When I was out of work for the week Ed was so ill, she missed me and I was told she did not smile at all. She looked lost from my understanding. The look on her face upon my return was 'priceless'.

Today's Joy: My little sweetheart came in beaming, her smile was from ear to ear. Held tight in her hands was a homemade Valentine's card that she made especially for me. As I looked at the red heart doily in the center decorated with foam items that spelled out my name, I cried. There were XXX's and OOO's all over it. Wow!

I thanked God this morning for another day and prayed for myself, a thing I rarely do. I asked him for strength and peace today. Guess I got exactly what I asked for. It is so nice to know that I will never go into the history books but that I can deeply touch people lives. I am loved by so many and I get to love back. My life is so full of love and this is all I have wanted since a child. Thank you my sweet.>>Believe51
