A Pair of Angel Wings

I went for my much needed walk yesterday.
I somehow managed to walk much further than I had initially anticipated, but it helped to clear my mind and it made me feel good about myself. Even though it started to rain on me I just kept going.
On our driveway we have these strange "dry spots" where when it rains they still look dry and light in color. I don't know if something spilt there, maybe oil? On my walk I stumbled across this little dry spot on the sidewalk in our neighborhood that caught my eye. I looked at it and just kept walking.... took a few steps but then turned around for another look. To me, I could not help to think that this little dry spot looks an awful lot like a pair of angel wings. Maybe I'm crazy, I don't know? I never though that i'd be one of those people that saw signs from above on a piece of toast or in a cloud but I also was never one to look for those things. I am beginning to see that there might be some reason that I keep seeing these signs, there is definitely a pattern going on. 
My eyes have been opened and I believe that if you slow down and "stop and smell the roses" that there are things that you will see, that might have been there the whole time but were just overlooked.

I saw you in a dream...

  Madison Sophia Young Born into Heaven Sunday, November 18, 2012 I saw you in a dream Before you were real I can't explain the way I feel Don't ask me to try It makes my heart cry Love created the seed that attached itself to my heart The seed became a life To me became a part The mystery of how it begins we will never know What makes a seed begin to grow What makes a heart begin to beat Growing little hands and little feet What makes it look like you or me Is simply just a mystery The cosmic force that makes me whole Is bound up in your little soul You hold my hand from inside out I feel you turn and dance about I don't know what's in God's plan He took you by your tiny hand Your beautiful little angle face Is now a part of time and space Your purest soul that's ever been Will never ever be touched by sin I cry, I weep, I cannot sleep I think what might have been Thank you for the joy you...

My Forever Child

I received my beautiful custom charm necklace in the mail today from My Forever Child .  My necklace was made with Madison's actual footprints which were laser etched from the scan below. I am so thrilled with the way it turned out. This brought a smile to my day! Madison's Footprints I smile every time I look at the second toe on the right foot... it is exactly like Mikes! This beautiful poem was also included with the charm...

"So, how's the baby?"

It amazes me how different peoples reactions are when I tell them I lost my baby. All in all I've only had to answer this question about six times. I know that it doesn't sound like an awful lot but each one still manages to throw me into a funk. Yesterday, three people, today one. I play these conversations over and over in my head and wonder how the other person took the news. It all starts with a sweet, innocent gesture, a simple: "So, how's the baby?" I reply, "Unfortunately, we lost her". If you can imagine the look of someone seeing a ghost, that's about the look I receive. I've heard: "I'm so sorry", "God Bless You", "that's not the answer that I was expecting" "Oh, I totally forgot!" (guessing this person knew and asked without thinking?!?) Some people blush and look like they want to run away, some gave me a hug, some say they will keep me in their prayers. And before you know ...
