A Sweet Gesture

Sunday night, we went to see Kyle with my parents. When Chris left the NICU to trade with my father (only two visitors are allowed by the bedside at a time), the nurse came over to me and gave me a small gift. She handed me a small piece of clay with two sets of foot imprints - one next to beads that spelled out KYLE and the other next to beads that spelled out ERIC. The nurse said that another nurse had apparently done the imprints early the day before but she wasn't sure which one (we've found out since then it was a nurse named Valerie). Through my fresh tears, I asked the nurse to please thank the other nurse if she found out who it was. The small gift meant so much to me, especially after the sorrow of the night before.
