Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep

This is a great organization that helps families through the healing process of losing an infant. I found out about it from my friend and fellow photographer Jenni, who inspired my other friend and fellow photographer Johanna to join, and ever since the very first time I heard of this I have been battling with my self as to weather or not I should become a volunteer. My heart says yes you need to do this but my mind tells me that I probably wont be able to handle it. So for months now I have been trying to decided what I should do.

2 days ago I decided that I needed to do this...I don't know why or how I'm going to have the strength but I just know that this is something that I need to do. So I filled out the application and figured it would be a few weeks before I heard anything. BUT, to my surprise, I got an e-mail yesterday evening saying that I was accepted! I feel so honored to be a part of this great organization. I know that this will be probably the most challenging work that I do but I am so willing to do my best to help in any way that I can with these families of angels who are so perfect that they only needed to come to this earth to gain a body and then return to heaven where they will stay perfect forever.
