Turtle Love

Daniel made this picture end October 2008.

How precious are these artworks from Daniel and how strong the knowledge that the little I have is all that there ever will be.

It was another one of the daily Daniel highlights when I would fetch him from school and before leaving we would first detour through the Noddy classroom so that he could proudly show me what he had created earlier that day.

I love anything that any of my children make and I carefully date it at the back not to forget but with Daniel this wasn't necessary. There was only 3 months of school in which he brought back his beautiful pictures.

I can imagine the concentration on his face as he worked and the little hands still developing the finer motor skills. I softly touch the picture knowing that Daniel's presence still lingers on the paper.

There are places within our hearts that can only be filled with memories. And there are places in our souls that can only be healed by the gentle hands of time...may you find comfort that my thoughts are with you during this very hard time. May you also find peace knowing that there is one more precious and beautiful little angel in heaven.....your loss is so deeply felt.
