    As Elizabeth fussed on the monitor, I slipped out of bed put on my
shorts and grabbed my robe when I Adam over the monitor; I told Micah to
get dress and grab a robe, Adam was in Elizabeth's room. Micah was out of
the bed and in his robe in a flash; we rushed to Elizabeth's room. The door
was open as we peeked in, there was Adam telling his sister that was okay
she was safe, he would protect from the evil people if they were mean to
her. Micah wrapped his arm around me and kissed me, Adam said; I'm sorry
but she got scared and was fussing, Micah gently spoke to our son and said;
its ok son I'm glad that you are watching out for your sister, Poppa is
going to fix her a bottle and you can help feed her if you want to. Yes sir
I would like that very much Daddy, Adam replied. I went to fix her bottle,
Micah brought her to me in the living room and handed her to me, Adam
crawled in the chair beside me I helped him feed her, I saw a flash as
Micah took a photo of us together, I said; I'll need a copy for my desk
also.  Micah smiled and said; not a problem and went to fix breakfast. Adam
looked up and said; pancakes Daddy I want pancakes for breakfast. Okay my
son then pancakes it is. We were ready for work and the kids were ready for
the care center so we left I went to the office and Micah carried to the
center I had been in my office for 10 minutes when Isla came in and said;
you have some people to here to see you. In walked a little boy followed by
two ladies, he was dressed in pink and lace from head to toe and with his
red hair there was no doubt this was young man's name was Galen. The dark
headed lady spoke up and said; they were very sorry for the trouble the
their son Galen had caused yesterday but it would never happen again, part
of his learning punishment is he must wear his new pink lacy clothes every
day for the next month and that he would never make fun on anyone that was
different from what he thought they should be. I thanked them for their
decision in this matter. I asked if I could speak to the young man, they
said; it would be okay. Galen young man has anyone made fun of your hair
color or the fact that you have freckles on your face to which he responded
yes sir. And did that hurt your feeling and make you feel sad, yes sir it
did. Then before you ever make fun of someone that is different from you
again, think if you were like them and how it would make you feel. Okay
young man I believe you have classes to attend and your mom's have to go to
work so have a wonderful day, they thanked me and left my office. Isla came
into my office and said; that went very well, are you going to check on
Elizabeth. No Isla, we are going to check on her so let's go, and we left
the office headed to the children's center. We arrived at the center as we
entered the door a caregiver at the center was sitting in a rocker holding
Elizabeth, and Adam was telling the other children all about his baby
sister and the Lady Angel who brought her to us from God, he told him that
she was special and she looked different from others but she was made just
the way God had intended for her to look; special. And he added if anyone
had a problem and wanted to talk about it, Makayla and he would meet them
on the playground then he went and sat down next to Makayla. Isla and I
left the center before we busted out in laughter. Time began to slip by
fast days into week and weeks into months and months into years, soon loved
one's were called home by the Lord. I was losing hair and Micah's nice firm
butt had begun to spread out and grey hair was replacing his once dark
locks. The others were also beginning to show the test of time but the
children were doing great some were still here and other had left to go to
universities of higher learning, Adam had taken over his Daddy's job at the
plant, Izaack was over the distribution and import center, Makayla was
getting ready to take over my job as I was soon to retire, Izabella was
away at school on France but she was to return soon. Galen, the mean little
red headed boy had grown into a fine young man thanks to his moms. Our
special Angel Elizabeth was doing great she was over the Children's Center
getting ready for her big day. She would soon be joined in life with the
love of her life in a double ceremony with the big brother who was marrying
his true love, Makayla and they were a pair together and yes his most
favorite color was still pink camo as was hers. And who do you ask was
Elizabeth marrying she was getting married to a certain mean red headed
little boy, who saw her for the first time in his life and fell madly in
love with her, he told his moms that if she would have him he would wait
for her, and love her for the rest of their lives. Yes, Galen had turned
out to be a very fine young Man indeed.  The End
