Hands of Libby and Matt Sanders
Libby Sanders is a nurse in Jasper, Indiana. Earlier this year, she lost her left pinky finger after a freak accident with a screen door. Since the accident she was a little self-conscious about the missing finger.
On Facebook, Libby posted:
This is who I married….
I was painting my nails and made a comment that I forget I don’t have to paint my pinky nail on my left hand. I simply forget that I lost my pinky, but it is always kind of a bummer when I am reminded. Matt said “I will be your surrogate pinky. You can paint my pinky to match your nails for the rest of our lives”
And so we did….
I cannot image a sweeter, kinder man. No words adequately describe our love.
Just type "Libby Sanders" into your search engine. Libby, her husband, five children and their ice cream shop are covered everywhere!

I need a tissue.
Teary-eyed,
Donna
