Michael Dougley

Say hello to Michael, guardian of my mother's pancreas. Recently, my dear, sweet mother was put in the hospital because she had pancreatitis. The whole time she was there, Michael watched over her and took care of her.

When mom needed hospital Jello that tasted like Windex, Michael got it for her. When she needed to haul her IV to the potty, Michael was there. No matter what was going on, Michael offered his physical and emotional services to my mother. There's no way I could possibly thank him enough for what he did for her.

I had the opportunity to speak with Michael in private. I asked about his life. He said that his mother was hospitalized as a child, and he helped her as much as possible. But she passed, and Michael vowed to help mothers in hospitals for the rest of his life. He loves hugs from nice mommies, and his favorite part about caring for people is tucking them in at night.

Aside from his care for others, Michael likes to ride his bike. He likes the sunshine. He goes to Mass regularly. He has a weak spot for small, domesticated rodents, like hamsters and mice. He likes big flowers and spring days.



Thanks again to the famous Rimpy for the picture.
