A Letter From A Grateful Mother

I would like to start this off by thanking God for all of the blessings in my life. My name is Misty Nelson. About four years ago I found out that I was pregnant. I was terrified, confused and my mind was going in so many different directions. My life was far from together. I was an alcoholic and made very little money. All I could think of is how I would ever be able to afford a child. I could not imagine how to raise a child because my mind was so scrambled at the time.


After a few weeks I decided to go to the abortion mill. I knew in my heart that was not the right thing to do but I bypassed that feeling. That day God sent me an angel by the name of Phil. As I was walking into the clinic he stopped me before I went in. He asked me why I was there. I let him know my situation. He told me it was my time to be a mother and it was in God’s plan. He handed me a rosary and he prayed for me. As I watched him praying tears fell down my face. I knew in my heart that God blessed me for a reason. I never thought that day would change the rest of my life.

My precious baby boy was born June 14, 2006. I have never known true love until the moment I held my child. I now have Caydence and he is three years old. I also have a beautiful baby girl who is one and a half years old. I am completely sober and have a great job, a wonderful family and my life has never been so complete and full of joy and happiness. I wake up every morning to see their bright smiles and hear their silly laughs. I can’t imagine life without them. I want to thank Phil for being my guardian angel. My life is turned around more than I ever would have imagined. No matter how hard life might seem to get the Lord blesses us in many ways. Just take them all and hold them close to your heart. It all works out in the end.

Thank you for everything,
Love Misty
