Also... a beautiful song at the bottom of this page by Ben Harper called 'Waiting on an Angel'. You can listen while you read... enjoy.

Waiting on an angel
One to carry me home
Hope you come to see me soon
Cause I dont want to go alone
I dont want to go alone
Now angel wont you come by me
Angel hear my plea
Take my hand lift me up
So that I can fly with thee
So that I can fly with thee
And Im waiting on an angel
And I know it wont be long
To find myself a resting place
In my angels armsIn my angels arms
So speak kind to a stranger
Cause youll never know
It just might be an angel come
Knocking at your door
And I'm waiting on an angel
And I know it wont be long
To find myself a resting place
In my angels arms...

I have been very busy lately! I'm going to school to become a paralegal then hopefully off to law school. Watch out Minister of Child and Youth Services, here I come to take your job! :)

I am also working on a big project that I would love help with. It is in the same vein as the crisis nursery, but not quite the same thing. I will be posting more details in January.

I am also busy making some 'Jeffrey's Comfy Quilts' that I will take to the Canadian Center for Abuse Awareness at Christmas. They then pass them on to children in foster care, or who are having a rough time. It's a great charity and I really recommend donating money or toys, clothes, personal hygeine products, etc. to them. Please see their link on this site.

Also, I'm hoping the woman (I'm so sorry, I forget your name!) I lent my binder of newspaper articles relating to Jeffrey's case reads this blog and would please get in touch with me so I can pick it up... if you still have it.

Thanks!
Amanda :)
