Look Who's Smiling!

A wonderful lady emailed me and told me that she had a cake sent to her daughter at the orphanage for her birthday and they sent her pictures of the party. Well, our sweet Willem sat right next to her at the party and we got 5 pictures of him from her! Guess who's smiling tonight...and it's not just my sweet boy!

Today I kissed an angel
I knew it from the start
The first time my angel smiled at me
I gave away my heart

Today I kissed an angel
This angel child of mine
Though not of my creation
My child by God's design

Today I kissed an angel
My heart is dancing wild
Our family, by a miracle
Blessed by our angel child

by Brenda Meece (?)

Mother Love...
"But, then, there's a cry that's the saddest of all.
In fact, it's unlike any other.
It comes from a deep, empty place in your heart
That can only be filled by a mother."

...from 'Shaoey and Dot'
