Vision of Loveliness

The day after Mother's Day, Liliana awoke from her nap, and instead of her usual, "Mama, mama!" she climbed out of her crib and turned on the light. Wade noticed that her light was on, and I decided to investigate. I quietly peered in to spy on her activities.

Much to my surprise, Liliana was not swinging from the ceiling fan, but rather sitting quietly in the rocking chair, looking at our family photo. When she heard the door open, she looked up and said ever-so-sweetly, "Happy Mother's Day, Mama." My heart melted. I said, "Thank you so much! What are you doing?" She answered, "Just looking at a picture of Mama." Precious. I could have spread her on a cracker and eaten her up!

Ramona,
When Liliana smiles and makes a compasionate and loving comment smile with joy knowing who taught her God's love! YOU and her daddy did! YOU ARE A GREAT MOMMY! You are so very blessed with a bright and loving darling girl!
Give her a hug for Marybeth!
Love,
April
