The other night I went to check on one of the little Gems at The Gem Foundation who hadn’t been feeling well. His diaper was being changed by one of the nannies when I found him. The nanny and I began visiting for a speck (the Gem nannies are so precious!) as she finished changing his…

Oh guys. What an unintentional, only-planned-by-the-Lord thing opening up the door for me to share my heart. Seriously.
