All Children are Miracles...

"The child must know that he is a miracle, that since the beginning of the world there hasn't been, and until the end of the world there will not be, another child like him." -Pablo Casals

Beautiful Quote...

When angels visit us, we do not hear the rustle of wings, nor feel the feathery touch of the breast of a dove; but we know their presence by the love they create in our hearts.

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

Time Heals All Wounds?

It has been said, 'time heals all wounds.' I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens. But it is never gone. - Rose Kennedy

As a Mom who also has had a child choose wings over feet, as someone who has experience life - I have to agree with this quote. I think we accept more of life's unfairness, we endure the storms and enjoy the sunlight when it comes. We always remember and from our experiences it shapes us to the people we become.

LOVE

Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking.
It is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.

~I Corinthians 13:4-8

You were meant to be...

God doesn't give you the people you want, He gives you the people you NEED.
To help you, to hurt you, to leave you, to love you and to make you into the person you were meant to be.

Bible Verses...

'I am leaving you with a gift: peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give isn't fragile like the peace the world gives. So don't betroubled or afraid. Remember what I told you: I am going away, but I will come back to you again. If you really love me, you will be very happy for me, for now I can go to the Father, who is greater than I am. I have told you these things before they happen so that when they do, you will believe in me..'
