Hospitality Center...playing memory :)

On one of my days off, I decided to go spend some time at the Hospitality Center, where patients stay as they wait to get surgery or post-ops if they live far away and can't make it back frequently, or on short notice. I went thinking i'd only be there a little while and when i left it had been several hours! here are some pictures with explainations...

The boys kept takin pictures of me so i gave them something to take a picture of ;-p hehe Later they had so much fun with my camara and taking pictures of themselves that they wouldn't hardly give it back to me!

Some of the boys wanted in on the pictures :)

I got to steal the cook's baby and carry him around for a while. He was SO adorable!

This is Jean, one of the boys i played with at the hospitality center. He had a surgery on the tumor on his head.

I also got to play with some of the boys who were there. We played memory and played with my camara for at least an hour! they love taking pictures with it themselves. we got kinda goofy :-p

This is a little baby that needs a cleft lip/palet surgery. The hospital has been helping her mom try to get her weight up so they can perform the surgery. She is very malnurished and cannot seem to gain wait. It would not be safe for her to have the surgery yet. (below

You Are Special

"You're special. In all the world there's nobody like you.
Since the beginning of time there has never been another person like you. Nobody has your smile, nobody has your eyes, your nose, your hair, your hands, your voice.
You're special. No one can be found who has your hand-writing. Nobody anywhere has your tastes for food, clothing, music, or art. No one sees things just as you do.
In all of time there has been no one who laughs like you, no one who cries like you, and what makes you cry or laugh will never produce identical laughter and tears from anybody else, ever.
You're the only one in all of creation who has your set of abilities.
Oh, there will always be somebody who is better at one of the things your are good at, but no one in the universe can reach the quality of your combination of talents, ideas, abilities, and feelings. Like a room full of musical instruments, some may excell alone, but none can match the symphony sound when all are played together.
You're a symphony.
Through all of eternity, no one will ever look, talk, walk, think or do like you.
You're special...you are rare. And in all rarity there is great value. Because of your great value you need not attempt to imitate others...(I hope) you will accept--yes, celebrate your differences.
You're special and (I hope) you're beginning to realize it's no accident that you're special.
(I hope) You're beginning to see that God made you special for a purpose.
He must have a job for you that no one else can do as well as you. Out of the billions of applicants, only one is qualified, only one has the right combination of what it takes.
That one is you, because...you're special."

~God
