18 Months and a Rainy Day....

I guess when it rains, it pours...that is our weather here today. But with rain, comes rainbows and that is exactly what JP saw today, 2 of them!!! I find rainbows so amazing, their colors are so vibrant, you never see the "real" end of them, and they possess almost a type of magic to them. Mystical like an angel. Yes, I think pennies and rainbows are signs from Lola. They are those little glimmers of hope or maybe the twinkle we would see in her eyes.

I often look at Milo and wonder what features I can pick up on him from Lola. I can't help but think of all the milestones we reach with him, the first smile, gigglea and think of all the things we missed out on with Lola. The things that make you a mother of an angel, I guess we let our imaginations run wild. Milo was baptised last week. It was so beautiful and even more special that it was held in the church garden, right next to the angel fountain. It was like she was right there with us, I know she was. We lit her a beautiful candle, said a prayer and celebrated Milo's moment, as a family. Always keeping her memory alive...

On another note, our orchad from Lola's passing is not blooming, it the first time in 18 months when there is not a flower on it or a bud in progress. It makes me sad but I am hoping it will turn around. :) Amazing, how a flower can represnt so much and become so special...it blooms WHITE flowers.

To Lola- We Miss and Love You!

Dad, Mom, Milo and Louie
