Happy 10th Birthday Cecilia...

A Great Soul services everyone all the time. A Great Soul never dies, it brings us together again and again. - Maya Angelou

Some may not say you are a great soul - but you will always be in my heart. The lessons you left, the lessons I've learned - I'll always admire you for them. I'm still learning and that is important in this mortal world. Some lessons are harder than others.

Then there is the acceptance of everything that has unfolded in my life that has connected me with others. I accept that you chose wings over feet and can't say I don't blame you! It took time to be at peace with that acceptance too. The selfish me wanted you here with me no matter what the consequences, and now I know it is as it should be.

It is acceptance that others might feel when they understand their child will not always do what they think they should do, or that their spouse is incapable of putting the toilet paper on the roll. You hit the serenity of it all - and just move on to more important things that need to be focused on.

I will always honor your life, be in awe of it, welcome the signs you send every now and then and always love you more and more every day. I also accept that you are the child I must love in my heart - spiritually. Learning to do this and accept this takes me, I believe to an enlightenment many never know. (Many I pray will never know.)

Happy Birthday Baby Girl - until we meet again...with love from the moon and back,
Mommy
