[tri-wings] tink

Today was my Rachael's angel day.  It's been 4 years since she gained her 
wings.  I woke up this morning with those horrible, but good, feelings of  
sadness, pain, and loss.  Horrible because I miss her so much - but good 
because it reminds me of how much I love her.  Anyways I had a couple of 
packages to open from family members.  My mom and dad sent a beautiful 
"Rachael" angel ornament and my older sister sent a donation to SOFT and to me 
a wonderful tapestry pillow with an angel on it.  There was a card with it with 
the following poem:

Angel of December

Angel of December sky
Gathers snowflakes way on high
Graciously with wings in air
Gathers precious gems to share

To trickle down to earth below
To shine like diamonds in the snow
What great beauty it will be
As angel sends these gems  for me

A calm and peacful night with snow
December angel's special glow
see her gliding through the air
This beauty of God's love so fair

Knows just what the snow will do
As peacefully it falls on you
Catch the diamonds in your hand
Where they sparkle God does stand

December's angel wings of snow
Sends her beauty here below
Catch the diamond from the sky
Magnificently these wings do fly.

Well, right after I got done reading this poem, it started to snow!!!!  What a 
wonderful "tink"!!!!  I also had  phone calls from my brothers and a very 
special uncle. So although the day was touched with sadness, it was filled with 
many loving memories and the realization that I am very blessed!

Love,
Terri mom to Jack, Rachael(T-13 4/29/82-12/22/98), Dennis and Kevin
