There were so many people talking, but it didn't feel like anyone was talking to me and she held my hand while it felt like they were scraping the skin from my body.
Hello. I just want to say that this is the hardest season of my life. God blessed me because Nelly was the part of the beginning of my story. She was the first hand I remember holding when I was just holding my daughter — she didn't make it, but then I was immediately rushed away. I was in excruciating pain and I didn't know if I was going to make it. I didn't know if I was going to live or die. There were so many people talking, but it didn't feel like anyone was talking to me and she held my hand while it felt like they were scraping the skin from my body. Since then, she has been such a beautiful person. She's been there. She's been very kind. She's been loving and went way over the top by giving me foot massages and held my hand. I didn't know how it was for burn patients, but most touches are terribly painful, but she found ways to touch me that were kind and compassionate. You're the one that God used to remind me that I'm not alone because no one was with me. I was so scared, and I'd just gotten the worst news of my life. So, I just want to say thank you for all that you've done, and God is using you for what you came to do in my life. I just want to give glory to God, because in the worst season of my life and my family's life, He's still real and he shows up even when you have no idea where. I was literally scared to death, but God showed up in your hand... I didn't even know if you were a man or a woman lol, but God bless and be encouraged.
