I'm glad the Nurses at the TMC Maternity Ward didn"t think I had lost my mind tonight. I was sure I was going to get some funny looks but instead i got hugs and tears with joy. It has lifted my spirits and gave me great joy in my heart. So, let me share about my little adventure. 
Of coarse, for those of you that say my Stolen Generations Blog today, you know that today Patience Lynn was due to arrive in this world. She would have been 2 Years old and I was upset at not having her or her mother here. (if you want to read that Blog and haven't....I will include a link below in this blog)
After posting it I had this overwhelming need to get out of the house. So, I got in my car, really not sure what I was doing or were I was going. I ended up at the Sherman, Tx. Walmart looking at baby things and something came over me and I decided to be someone elses blessing. I bought a newborn baby outfit with shoes, a blanket, bottles and of coarse every little girl should have a doll and I got a gift card to take care of babies other needs and put them all in a sparkling Purple Gift Bag. In one of those crazy random moments that was PURE ASHLEIGH........I marched up to to Labor and Delivery area of TMC Hospital and asked the nurses at the station for help. I explained that I had lost a Daughter who would have had her daughter on this very day and that I wanted to leave someone a gift. I asked if there were any little girls born today and said there was two. So, I asked them to give it to the mom who they thought had the most need of baby things. The ladies there were so nice. One of them lived in that area were Ashleigh was killed. We hugged and let I said there was happy tears. One nurse said, "You made my night." 
Ashleigh made my life so special and her daughter, our Patience would have been such a joy. How could I not Share Ashleigh's Heart on this day of all Days? It was what Ashleigh would have done and I honored her and Patience memory tonight. Lastly, I will share the blessing I wrote for the Mother and child whom I never met...
In Memory of my little girl & her little girl....
I would like to give you this blessing on this joyous day....
May your daughter always know love, joy, beauty, & faith.
May she grow up strong with a kind heart but full of spirit.
May my Angels watch over her as she grows & you be as blessed as I was to be a mom.
Wishing you many blessings.

    Operation: Share Ashleigh's Heart

    

    Began when Ashleigh Lindsey’s mom was struggling with the most negative experience any mother could have…the murder of a child and unborn grandchild. March 21st was Tara Woodlee’s birthday but instead of a day full of celebration it became a day full of tears and sadness. On March 21st, 2012 was the day Ashleigh called her Mom crying from a bathroom. She had been burnt in the face with a cigarette by her then finance, Joshua Mahaffey. It was the day Ashleigh’s nightmare of physical abuse began at the hands of the man she loved. What was worse for Tara was that Joshua’s birthday was the same day as Tara’s. How do you share a birthday with the murderer of your child?      

    In March of 2014, Tara decided that she wanted to turn that Negative into a Positive! She thought of Ashleigh and how full of life and generosity. If anything could overcome evil it was Ashleigh’s heart. She was big on random acts of kindness every day. She didn’t have to think twice about doing them it was just in her nature. So, Tara made a list of the top 20 things she saw her daughter do in kindness and created an event on Facebook. She asked friends and family to join in and Operation: Share Ashleigh’s Heart began. On March 21st, 2014 over 450 people made a commitment to do one act of random kindness in honor of Ashleigh Marie Lindsey. The response was overwhelming.

    Since….Operation: Share Ashleigh’s heart did so much to heal Tara’s heart since she pledge to do all 20 acts of kindness on the list with in a weeks’ time…She thought….why not make this a yearly event. Better yet, why not make this a blog where ideas can be shared on how to change one person’s day with a single unselfish act. And Ashleigh’s Heart Lives On!!!!!!
