Betsy Rose, Our Little Princess gets a present…

"Come on over Freckles – I got another present! Look – there’s another box in here! And a card! Oh – and another card with a picture of a beautiful Arabian horsey all dressed up!"

"Mommy Theresa, will you please read me the card that is in the envelope? And then let’s open the box! I’m excited!"

"Oh my – what is it? It’s beautiful, but I don’t know what it is! There are 3 presents in one pretty box! It’s a halter! It looks like the beautiful Arabian halters I saw on the horses in the magazine!"

"Next! Quick – I want to see! What is it? Oh my goodness – it’s a blanket to match!" Betsy Rose is so expressive. She pays attention to details! It’s like each new experience is one that she wants to hold on to forever.

"Ok, and what is this? It’s a necklace to match! Can I try them on now – please?? Freckles don’t look – turn around and I’ll let you know when to look, ok?"

"Ok, what do you think Freckles? Wait – we’re not done yet – still have to put on the blanket! I’m so excited!"

"Well, how do I look? I feel beautiful! Freckles – what do you think? Mommy Theresa says that Auntie Nancy Gates made this beautiful set by hand – with lots of love!"

And there Betsy Rose stood – tall and proud for the world to see through pictures. She has the heart of a champion and an iron will that I’m sure helped her to survive when she was at death’s door. While she lay on the ground like garbage, unable to stand, waiting for death to take her away – she didn’t know that God had other plans for her here on earth. Having her with us is a true blessing. Betsy Rose is amazing, forgiving, loving, and just a beautiful soul. All of us, together, are making her future what her past should have been. She is grateful. She radiates love and kindness – her presence makes you feel good. You just want to hug her, a lot. And we do!

And then Betsy Rose stood down, closed her eyes, and appeared to say a prayer of thanks.

"Get a picture from my other side Mommy Theresa!"

"I feel like a princess! I wish all the little ponies in the world could feel like I do now – it feels really good!"

"I promise you Betsy Rose that everything will stay nice and safe in this lovely box. Betsy Rose – thank you for sharing your life with us. You ARE a princess and you ARE loved by people from around the world!"

This was quite an experience to share with her. Sometimes, it’s almost like Betsy Rose is human – we have conversations. She speaks very clearly without saying a word. She soaks up all the love she is given – she is one of the lucky ones. God led her to us for a reason. I believe…

Wishing everyone a wonderful evening.

Sincerely,
Theresa
