82 Months

The traveling penny...

We have just returned from a beautiful, tropical and most relaxing vacation in Puerto Rico. It made me miss island life but as a family it was a wonderful time to reconnect and recharge. I can close my eyes and picture the boys running into the crisp blue ocean but I'm pretty certain Lola was at her best watching over us. As we sat down in our terminal for Puerto Rico to depart there was one shiny penny on the seat we had chosen. Milo quickly claimed the Lola penny, here we all were going to Puerto Rico. The week went too fast, the weeks you never wish would end. We swam, we built sand castles, we walked on the beach. ( we also laughed and giggled lots too) It was good.

Early in the morning we headed out to the San Juan airport, it's an extremely busy spot. A little chaotic. After we passed security and we were putting on our shoes, we sat down and there was another penny. One on the way to our trip and one for the way home. Thank You Lola!
Finding a penny just makes you smile, it makes you feel good, it made me feel like she was with us but that penny was just an extrodinary reminder of our angel. We got back to Florida and walking Finley around the luggage area we stumbled upon another penny. Two in one day in fact. That is the story of the traveling penny, our angel's pennies. It made the trip and memories even more remarkable. I can picture Milo sitting with JP on a Palm tree talking, Finley jumping into the kiddie pool fearlessly and Lola's pennies. It was a great time.

Love-
The Mother of an Angel
