Angel

I can't help but be thinking of Brooklyn during this holiday season. It's our second Christmas without her. It's so bitter sweet for us. We miss Brooklyn so much, yet Aubrey brings us incredible joy. I guess God knew what he was doing when he blessed us with twins. He knew we'd lose one, but we'd be able to watch the other grow and thrive. I just can't help but think of her and wonder what our life would be like with two little red heads crawling around and conspiring to pull down the Christmas tree. Things would certainly be so different.

Last year our friend Alison gave us a beautiful angel ornament (the one on the left) to honor Brooklyn. We didn't put up a tree last year, so this year we're able to really enjoy it now that it's on display. Each year we'll add a new angel ornament to the tree in her honor. I was drawn to this angel with the heart. She certainly has a piece of our hearts. Brooklyn may be gone, but she won't ever be forgotten.
