Happy Mother's Day


The Gift
by Paul Dammann

God sent to me an Angel,it had a broken wing.
I bent my head and wondered"How could God do such a thing?"
When I asked the Father why he sent this child to me the
answer was forthcoming,He said, "Listen and you'll see.
My children are all precious, and none is like the rest.
Each one to me is special, and the least is the best.
I send each one from Heaven and I place it in the care
of those who know my mercy, those with love to spare.
Sometimes I take them back again. Sometimes I let them stay.
No matter what may happen I am never far away.
So if you find an angel and you don't know what to do,
remember, I am with you , love is all I ask of you."

--- this came from my friend Jamie, who spent 6 months in the NICU with her twins. This Mother's Day, I am grateful for Ella who made me a mom, Alex who made motherhood an adventure and Max who reminds me everyday of what a precious gift being a Mommy really is. Next year, I hope to have all 3 of my babies together for a picture.
