An Angel in Heaven

An angel went to heaven. A perfectly, beautiful angel that I am sure touched too many lives to count has gone to heaven. In this blogging world, mommies have to stick together, and that is how I came across prayer requests for Kellie. Her sweet daughter Maddie was laid to rest after 4 short months on this earth. Please say a prayer for Kellie and her family.

I have to thank my friend Angela for really pushing me to start blogging. I love blogging, and I love reading blogs, especially mommy blogs. Every now and then you come across a blog that really touches you. You have something in common with this other mommy in cyber space, and you feel a connection. I have never met Kellie, and she probably does not know that I exist, but her story has touched me so deeply. Her Maddie was born one day before my Kay. As I read Kellie's blog, I felt like I was reading my own blog. We had similar excitement, anxieties, and joy. She would write about "sit ups," sleeping through the night, stress of work, and I knew exactly what she was talking about. Kellie is a primary school teacher and she is juggling work, being a mommy, and being a wife. My thoughts and prayers are with this family, and I hope you will keep them in your prayers as well.

As I put my baby to bed tonight, I rocked her a few minutes longer. I kissed her a few more times. I held her tight, and I realized just how very lucky and blessed I am.
