Angel Watch segment on CBS Channel 2, Salt Lake

We were interviewed a couple weeks ago for this story on Salt Lakes CBS station. It was a really special experience, and I'm honored that we got to share a little of Daniel's story and tell people what a wonderful organization Angel Watch is.

Angel Watch, Baby Your Baby Segment on Salt Lake CBS Channel 2

Angel Watch

Danny Boy

You know the song "Danny Boy"? That is one of our favorite, special songs. It was a song that David's LDS mission president used to sing, and he really admired his mission president (he died unexpectedly a few years ago). And, of course, it reminds us of Daniel. Not just because of the name, but because the song is about missing someone because of death.
Anyway, Dave and I were invited to be interviewed for a story about Angel Watch for the CBS station in Salt Lake. Channel 2. They wanted to do a story about Angel Watch for their Baby Your Baby segment, and they wanted to interview a couple who had been served by Angel Watch. The Angel Watch director invited us to do it. We have a history with her, because before she was the Angel Watch director, she was our social worker at the hospital when Daniel was born.
As we left the office after the interview, there was a choir singing "Danny Boy" in the hospital foyer. I got chills all over my body. It was their last song, so I found the director and told her about it. She said it was from their fall concert and that they hadn't been singing it very much, but decided to add it at the last minute.
It didn't feel like a coincidence.
