~ Heavens's Very Special Child ~

I was adopted by the most incredible people, who both have passed on a life time ago. After my Mom died I found this poem, in her room and I want to share it. They fostered mentally retarded children, and the last child was serverly retarded plus other serious problems, real sad, but she wasn't sad at all. There was a reason she came into our lives.

******************************************

A meeting was held quite far from earth

"It's time for another birth"

Said the angels to the Lord above

"This Special Child will need much love"

Her progress may be very slow

And she will require extra care

From the folks she meets way down there

She may not run, laugh, or play

Her thoughts may seem quite far away

In many ways she won't adapt

And she will be known as HANDICAPPED

So lets be careful where she's sent

We want her life to be content

Please, Lord find her parents who

Will do a special job for you

They will not realize right away

The leading role they're asked to play

But with this child sent from above

Comes stronger Faith and Richer Love

Soon they'll know the privilege given

In caring for this gift from Heaven

Their Precious Charge so meek and mild

Is Heaven's Very Special Child

Tammie thanks, big hugs back. They were truly amazing, it's some story let me tell you. I know they are both safe in heaven, they certainly earned it.

Love

((((((Tammie, Bonni, Debbie)))))))))))

I have to tell you a little story now, well I have tons of stories in me, from where I grew up, but this one is amazing amongst so many others, this one is about angels, yep angels.

I was 18 when my Dad died, gosh I love him so much, and it was such a shock, he went into the hospital for surgery, and three weeks after he passed away, and you know he worked right up till the day he died, and in so much pain with cancer, and never complained once, not once about anything. (His fear was leaving my Mom knowing how much harder her life would be without him)

Now about the angel part, one or two days before he passed on, my Mom was with him, well she was with him as much as possible, there were still a house full of kids, how she did that, I'll never know. Anyway she was with him, and he kept saying to her, see the three people in the corner, and she said he had the biggest smile on his face, she kept telling him no, she didn't see anyone, he was persistant on this, and couldn't understand why she couldn't see them. He was fully aware of what was going on around him, it's not like he lost his mind or anything, his mind was very clear up till the day he passed on.

We know who was in there with him, I've read this happening to others, we can call angels, or someone who came here to help him move on in this journey.

Gives you a good feeling, doesn't it. I still wish he was here, both of them for that matter.

My Mom would tell us, that some spouses will die ten years later. This is really weird, I have to say. So guess what, she did die ten years later, and the same month, not the same day, but the same week. Now what are the odds of that, it's almost like she waited for those ten years to pass, and to join him again.

Holy cow, I don't know why I'm going on about this, but they were such amazing people, they went without, always, never went out, not even to a movie, or out to eat, and it's something I think should be shared. So I sometimes need a good kick in the butt when I feel sorry for myself over the stupidest things, shame on me.

Ok I'm done rambling on, lol.

Thanks again Tammie, Bonni, and Debbie, hey pleased to meet you.

Love and hugs.......Denise
