Annalee????

So Mike and I were sitting in the livingroom and we noticed we had a voicemail message.  We checked the message and it said "Hi, I'll just call back later".  We looked at each other and didn't recognize the name or number so figured it was a wrong number. 
Later tonight the phone rings again and we see it is the same caller.  I answer and there was a lady on the other end of the phone and she said "Annalee?"  I said yes.  She then said that this was going to sound very strange but her name was Annalee as well and she was wondering where I got my name from.  I didn't hesitate and I stated that I was named after the nurse who delivered me.  She then says...."are you Heilman?"  I said "yes".  She then said..."omg - Annalee Nicole"  I then said "omg are you Weiman - the nurse that delivered me?"  She said "Yes".  She then went on to say I see you have 3 beautiful children now.  FREAKY! lol   I said yes and she chuckled and said she saw my name in the paper for the Babies of 2010.  It all made sense then. 
She then asked " I trust all is well with you then?" And I told her of the news.  She immediately said "I don't want you to worry because Annalee is a very strong name and we are fighters"  She herself is a 7 year Breast Cancer Survivor.  She then gave me a pep talk and told me if I ever needed anything or wanted to talk she was available.  My heart is so full of the love and the selflessness of others is overwhelming.  I don't know how I could ever thank everyone enough! 
Why was it today when I was feeling low that she called to bring me back up?  It isn't like I have talked to her for years.  I know she called my mom when I was 16 to say hi and to see how I was but to call me today of all days is just plain weird.  My faith is becoming stronger that there is a plan...and everything is the way it is suppose to be right now!  I'm sure I will eventually see the bigger picture but for now - I must take things one day at a time.
