       Happy Mother's Day Dessa

Just wanted to say how much it means to me to have so many special people in my life who have helped me thru so much heartache, and thank you for being one of those special ones.  With all my love, Bette - Timmy's mom.

To all my favorite moms and women who have moms or who miss (but will always love) their moms …           A Newborn's Conversation with God       A baby asked God, "They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow,   but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?"     God said, "Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you."     The child further inquired, "But tell me, here in heaven I don't have   to do anything but sing and smile to be happy."     God said, "Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you.   And you will feel your angel's love and be very happy."     Again the small child asked, "And how am I going to be able to understand   when people talk to me if I don't know the language?"     God said, "Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words   you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will   teach you how to speak."     "And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?"     God said, "Your angel will place your hands together and will teach   you how to pray."     "Who will protect me?"     God said, "Your angel will defend you even if it means risking its life."     "But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore."     God said, "Your angel will always talk to you about Me and will teach   you the way to come back to Me, even though I will always be next to you."     At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from Earth   could be heard and the child hurriedly asked, "God, if I am to leave   now, please tell me my angel's name."     God said, You will simply call her, "Mom."

They say wings are a gift, coming from heaven above
Handed down by God and given out of love
They say wings are a gift, given to God’s precious few
To those who are selfless, caring and true

The angel of April is the spirit of rebirth.

As the days grow longer and the sun begins to warm us, April is a time for new life and new beginnings.  April's angel spurs us to test ourselves in new directions and to make ourselves vulnerable in the face of unfamiliar people, situations and places.  Encouraged by the April angel, we search for new and novel endeavors that will enrich our lives and bring new meaning to our career or family roles.

The April angel teaches us to delight in each sign of awakening, in nature and within ourselves.

Sorry I'm late, Sweetie. Keeping you & your sweet mom in my prayers. Love & hugs
