Happy Birthday Teagan

It's been 2 years since we were blessed by an angel. Born just shy of 19 weeks and delivered into the arms of God, we were blessed just to hold her in our arms, however briefly, and marvel at her beauty. No tears, just love. It's like having a Guardian Angel with a name and she's family.

She's made herself known to us these past 2 years.
We were on a walking tour in New Orleans and were in the cemetary where Voodoo Priestess Marie Laveau is interred. In the back part of the cemetary there is a patch of grass that in an area where only one person, the first wife of "someone of society", if I remember correctly, is buried. In the middle of the grass there was one flower, I think it was called a Rain Lilly... I'm not sure. But the guide did take notice of it and thought it odd a) to only see one blooming and b) that it wasn't the season for them to be blooming. Later on the tour Gina notice a butterfly that seemed to be following me and paying particular attention to me before flitting off on its way. It wasn't until later that she told me that she had asked Teagan to show her just one of anything where normally there would be more.

I was doing a pickup on my birthday last year and near my truck was a camo Mickey Mouse antenna topper. I'm certain she knows what a Disney freak I am and it was the perfect present!

I'm convinced she is with Gina most of the time. Mostly because one night Gina came home while I was in the garage. I had the phone with me and it started playing back messages. I thought it strange that when the messages are played back on the base unit, they would also be played back on the phone. So I went upstairs and asked who called only to find that Gina hadn't checked the messages yet. So I tried to check them from the phone and found that 2 buttons needed to be pressed in order to start the playback. Clearly I didn't accidentally hit the button as the phone was sitting in a basket about 5 feet from me. I believe Teagan just made a detour through the garage on her way upstairs just to say 'Hi'.

One other time that really got my attention was when I was getting into my truck at the beach and lying on the ground outside my truck was a miniature rose plant with a small white rose and bare roots. It wasn't there when I got out of my truck... hmmm. I still have the plant and it's bloomed once since then.

I'm sure these aren't the only times she's made herself known, these are just a few of the times I was paying attention.

So, Happy 2nd Birthday Teagan. We miss holding you in our arms, but will hold you in our hearts until you take us by the hand and lead us around Heaven. We Love You.
