It has been raining these past few days, and I must admit that I don't mind it at all...the rain hides the tears I cry for my son Joshua. It's hard to believe that it's been 2 years and 3 months since he went to heaven. February was his original due date. February 10th to be exact. A baby born out of love.
Today, the rain finally ceased, for the moment at least, and the rainbow was out for all to admire it's beautiful colors. As much as I wanted to stay inside my "nest" (that's what my husband refers to when I'm snug in bed), where it's nice and warm, and just cuddle with my kids, I decided that it would be a good day to come out and feel the warm sun on my face.
We gathered the Valentine decorations we bought for Joshua, and decided to start celebrating Valentine's Day early. My hubby and the kids visited our angel in heaven, and decorated his grave with hearts and flowers. The kids were so inspired that they even offered to help clean the other baby angels graves. Some of these angels graves had not been visited for a while and needed a little love and care, so it was nice for the kids to think of them. This was our way of sharing and spreading a little love to others. We may not know what happened to these little angels, and where their parents are, but it's the little act of kindness that means the most.
With that, I want to make sure to tell my husband, "Thank you for being by my side. For comforting and caring when I was all confused inside...For the phone calls you make every day, just to tell me “I love you” every minute of the day." For my kids, "Thank you both for you always seem to know when I need a hug, kiss or a smile…These are the best gifts I could ever receive!"
This coming Valentine's Day, the Gift of Love, Friendship, and Family are the best Gift we can give to those we love, so remember to go all out for love...
