Look what I got! Saturday's mail brought a smile and tears. This sweet canvas of "Momma and Chicks" was an unexpected, handmade gift from The Chubby Dove.
What could be any "tweeter" than this?
See my baby chick wearing a crown of life and skateboarding in the clouds?
'Thinking of my chick in Heaven...my sweet boy, Andrew.
'Loving the card he made me one year for Mother's Day.
'Holding hands in the sun, under a blue sky!
I love you, too, Son...with my whole HEART.

The pendant I am wearing is made from a recycled skateboard. Is that not the coolest?

Hi Mel, we all keep precious gifts we receive from our children. They are our treasure. Hey you and daughter look like sisters. Blessings to your wonderful family.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking for a desk similar to the one you got free..WOW..hope I find me a free one too,lol.
ReplyDeleteThat is the coolest with the necklace. I love that framed picture. How precious of Chubby Dove to cover you with such a blessing.
Mel, I've been praying about starting to run. You have inspired me. When I see pics of you with your running gear on, it makes me want to get off this computer and start running..seriously.
Just came to visit and catch up on some posts. I adore the pic of you and your daughter 'all cleaned up' after the race. BEautiful.
