Vanessa has been very concerned about Nicole ever since she started using her oxygen. Her nightly prayers for the past month have gone something like this:
Dear Heavenly Father, we're so grateful that Nicole is breathing well...
Although their relationship started off a little rocky, with Vanessa frequently pegging Nicole in the head with whatever she could find, they have both developed a very special bond.
I hope Lisa won't mind me sharing this, but the other day she was reading Elder Holland's talk about the ministering of angels and felt prompted to pray to become more aware of the angels in our lives, and more especially, those who have come to Nicole's aid. As she was contemplating this, Vanessa came down the stairs and Lisa felt very strongly that Vanessa was one of those special angels sent to comfort the little sister she so dearly loves.
A few days later, after putting the girls to bed (both in separate beds), this is what we saw on our monitor.
Since then, it has been a common occurance to see Vanessa crawling into Nicole's bed and falling asleep by her side.
The cake Lisa made for my birthday; the tree of Gondor!
