Many People Have Touched Lynda's Life

I've been sitting here since about 3:00 thinking about all of the people who have touched our lives because of Lynda throughout the years from Brewton, Alabama where we lived when she came to live with us to Oxford where we moved so she could go to the Lafayette County Child Development Center (now Scott Center) to Batesville where we lived for a couple of years and again Oxford for the majority of Lynda's life. People are now scattered across the country. Lynda lived at home and attended Scott Center until she was 22 and aged out of the school system for special education. She entered NMRC when she was 21 so she could attend Scott Center during the day as we transitioned to NMRC. So at this point in Lynda's life, she has lived at NMRC for half of her life. She has a huge extended family composed of the clients and staff who live and work there. Many arms have comforted my child throughout the years and to each and everyone I have always thanked God for you. Today, you continue that care as you sit with her throughout the day and night when family members cannot be there. God sends lots of different types of angels to care for Lynda. Some we can see. Some we cannot. Some we might not recognize but have no doubt, angels are there and have been sent by God. Today I am thankful for Lynda, for those who love her, for those who care for her and for those who are praying for her. Good is good all the time.
