tiny miracles

It is 11:06pm

Today was a busy day...

Today was a better day.

I honestly woke up feeling like it wasn't going to be, but as I was checking Facebook I noticed that Suspended Coffees had posted my guest blog about Elijah and The Love, Elijah Project.

Here It is:

http://suspendedcoffees.com/love-elijah/

I don't think anyone on my page really knows how big of a deal this is to me, because there weren't many likes, but this is HUGE.

It is a new group of mothers and fathers that I could potentially help..

It is also a new group of people who will get to hear Elijah's story.

Plus...suspended coffees is just an amazing movement..and to even be a tiny part of it is just so lovely.

I feel blessed that they would help me tell Elijah's story. <3

It is a big deal and it helped me turn my day around.

Another great thing that happened today was my visit to the post office and then to our Love, Elijah Holiday Remembrance Tree.

So many packages were received today and I was also finally able to add more lights on the tree and add more ornaments.

(i bought the Batman one for Elijah...he was our little bat baby)

I also got semi caught up on my www.loveelijah.com blog.

But I think one of the best things that happened today was me and the kids act of kindness. 

We had to go to target to return something and pick up some dinner, and I bought a little box of shortbread cookies.

I wanted to get the kids more involved this month since it is christmas time. I wanted them to see that giving can be equally (or more) rewarding than giving. 

So we grabbed one of little Elijah kindness cards and the cookies and we pulled into the first neighborhood we saw.

I saw this house where some people were seated outside and they had Christmas lights on, so I figured it was pretty safe.

We drove down the street and turned around to return to the home.

I unloaded all the boys and they all ran up and hollared merry Christmas and what not.

I told the man that everyday we do an act of kindness, and we thought we would give them some cookies today.

He was super nice and even agreed to a picture with the kids.

Then we said our goodbyes and headed to the car.

As I was waiting for the kids to get buckled in, the man came to the car and asked who Elijah was.

I explained he was my son, but he has passed away.

He then smiled and told me that his son's name is Elijah too.

I told him it was a beautiful name.

We smiled and I left thinking that perhaps the few moments before when I was begging God for help, he knew I needed some love from Elijah. He knew I needed that little sign from heaven. 

Maybe some of you think it was a happy coincidence, but today I am going to take it as a tiny miracle.

Sweet Elijah.

Even on my better days I still would rather be your mom and hold you in my arms again.

I love and miss you always my boogie. <3
