Well today I had to say goodbye to one of my dearest and best buds... Teagan! I have had the honor and privilege of clowning around at Primary Children's Hospital for the past 9 months. It is there that I met Teagan and we instantly became friends! His smile, his spirit, his attitude, his sense of fun and mischief is just too contagious not to infect you with his friendship! Thank you Teagan!!
Today was my last day of clowning at the hospital as I prepare to move to Wisconsin. It is a very bitter sweet move, especially when I have to say "See you later" to friends like Teagan! I know no matter where I am, I will ALWAYS be connected to Teagan.
He has taught me things I could never learn from anyone but him. And I THANK him for that too. Like all the names of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and how to tell them apart. Like how to laugh in the face of pain! He taught me which hurts more... "getting a shot" or "having a dressing change".. it is "having a dressing change". I never knew that. It will help me be a better nurse to the kids I get to care for! And he has taught me so much more that he will never even know about. So THANKS TEAGAN!!!
Teagan has a Facebook page. You all know I am not on Facebook. But luckily I can look at his Facebook page without signing up. I can follow his antics, and I will know when he gets his new heart! That will be one of the happiest days of my life for sure! You can check out his page too if you like. The link is below.

It would be very nice if one of my friends out there who reads this could post it on Teagan's Facebook. And PLEASE tell Teagan that his good old buddy old pal Chip and Chip's sidekick Freddie will miss him! We hope to play with him again someday, when we come back to Utah for visits! I look forward to running and laughing and playing with him AND his brother Mason in a park or somewhere besides the hospital!
I could go on and on and on and on about my friend, but I don't want to over do it either. So read his Facebook and the story below to learn more. I know you will fall in love with his smile and attitude thru the photos and stories you will read.

"Teagan is The Incredible Heart. Some might say he is an Incredible Fart.. lovingly of course. He is Lean and Mean and Green like The Turtles, but not really Mean or even Green. He is FAST like Dash, which is his middle name. He loves to laugh and play fun games. He is my friend and I will never forget him, for as long as I am living!" Chip the Clown
