Blessings

Blessings are out there, you just have to recognize them when they look you in the eye. We were blessed, almost 5 years ago, with a sweet, rambunctious, eager little boy. Thomas changed our lives in ways we never would have expected.


Carol Rouse came into our lives a short 3 years ago. I met Carol in a few different arenas before she became our daycare provider. I remembered her as being full of energy, loving her family, and speaking highly of the services she provided and the families she provided them for. A couple of months later, during a time of despair and frustration with our then current daycare - I made the call. It's a call I will never regret.

I will be eternally grateful for the love and support she provided for our family. She has helped us to shape Thomas into the little man he is becoming. Carol has been such a blessing to us.

Today we parted ways, sharing a deep bear hug and many tears. Tears of happiness for the school year to come, tears of gratitude for the wonderful job she has done, and tears of sadness for the upcoming absence of our twice daily talks.


Thomas on his last day. He loved spending time with Carol's grandkids (and summer daycare helpers), Madissen and Aiden.
