It's a hard place to be - the hospital Children's ICU. You don't want to be here, but you wouldn't think about being anywhere else. Because it is in this plain, unadorned waiting room that family and friends are gathered to pull and pray for the near loved child struggling for life. Your heart is heavy and so is the air; there is little joy. But then a simple glance to the ceiling. Wow, what is that? For there, in splashes of color and smiling faces are painted messages of f hope and strength. We make the connection. This is life; the good against the bad; the light against the dark; the positive against the negative. These tiles lift your spirit; the represent the best of who we are. And they remind us of our humanity and what is really important in life.
