Today 8 candles burn brightly in a window on a cold, windy Minnesota day. A reminder of a life that began and ended too early, but cast a ray of sunshine upon any who stepped onto her path...
Today a little brother savors a brownie for breakfast in honor of his big sister; his big blue eyes a beautiful reminder of her....
Today a little sister dresses head to toe in her sister's clothes so that she may be as close to her as posssible. She writes notes and draws rainbow hearts in an effort to send her love up to Heaven....
Today a treasured dollie sits upon a shelf dressed in blue and waiting to be held and played with again...
Today signs of spring emerge and we are reminded of becoming new again; love is born and rises....
Today a little girl dreams in fields of yellow flowers with Jesus...
Today a head full of strawberry colored tresses smiles her heart out and skips along the hills of Heaven...
Today in Heaven blue eyes twinkle brightly and dance with each giggle...
Today a Mama remembers the moments a baby girl came into her life
and made her a mother for the first time...
Today a Daddy's arms long to be filled with a little girl's hug
as he remembers holding her through thick and thin....
Happy 8th Birthday Ellie Rose! I hope you can hear us celebrating here on earth as we remember you with laughs, tears, Johnny Cash songs and root beer floats. Our hearts are heavy, but joyful as we know that one day, one glorious day, we will all be together again. Love you, sweet pea.
"I thank my God everytime I remember you." Philippians 1:3
