Vanlentines For An Angel

     Hey y'all.  I'd say "Happy Valentine's Day" but that might be a bit cliche'...  These are the small holidays that are just fun when your kids are small.  Don't get me wrong, there isn't a crafty bone in my body, but I love how happy my girls get over the small things.  The small things have always mattered big to me.  It's always just been who I am.  I love homemade cards from my girls, pictures of our family thru their eyes, and anything that requires thought.
  It's been a rather emotional day for several reasons.  I'm thankful for friends who just know.  We don't go all out for this day but we do try to make it special for our girls.  Last night as I put out their hearts and candies in their respective places I couldn't help but think of three.  Oh if they only knew how much they mean to me.  I thought of Joeli and what her reactions would be as Brelan and Mileigh smiled back at me.  Then I thought of His great love for you and for me.  A love so big I can't describe and that's where my sweet girl resides.  I can't imagine what Heaven must look like on Valentine's Day.  I'm sure it's truly a sight to see.  I wondered what she'd be doing up there, looking down on me with that  Joeli stare.  I'm sure her face would shine so bright, she truly brings new perspective to this life.
  I wondered what I'd buy for her if I could.  What do you give to an angel on Valentine's Day?  I listened to Brelan and Mileigh give each other small tokens of love and wondered what it might sound like to hear them with her.  I wondered what she'd say to her little sisters and how she'd show them how much she cared.  I came back to "what do you give to an angel?"  I'll give her my voice, I'll give her my fight, I'll give her a legacy full of light.  I'll talk about her to her sisters and keep her memory alive.  I'll remind them how much she loves them and show them how to shine.
  Happy <3 Day Joeli, Brelan, and Mileigh!!!  Mama loves y'all All Heart!
