Angel Girl

I've called Cicily my Angel Girl for a couple years now.  I guess it's my most dear nickname for her.  She's also Cis, Cissy, Cissy Cakes.  But just about every night after I sing her a song about Jesus, I give her a kiss and say, "I love you Angel Girl". 
Since Cis was born people have always noticed something about her.  "She has an old soul."  "Her smile just makes me want to smile."  "Look at those eyes, she just knows things." 
I believe Cicily does know things.  She knows things most of us "normal" people can never understand in our "normal" lives.  She knows the full power of Jesus Christ's love.  I believe that's why Cis is so kind and loving.  Why she faces her challenges with bravery and a smile.  She does understand things, things we don't understand and that enables her to react differently to our world than we do. 
Cicily's not the only angel girl we have living in our world.  There are other brave angels.  They very quietly speak to us in their own way and help us grasp a tiny piece of the love they know.

One of the quotes I came across while looking for Mikey's headstone is, "some people only dream of angels, we held one in our arms". I would say that by taking care of an angel everyday would make you one too. :)

My world will never be the same because of this little angel. Because of her I can now appreciate all of those other brave angels. I would agree with Ondria that it takes one to know one. You are an amazing person Janalyn!!

Love to all of you,
