When Jude and Brinly died a family friend gave my mom and I a Magnolia tree in their honor. We both poured a little bit of Jude's ashes into the soil in August. My mom told me yesterday (they live out in the country) that several daisies are popping up randomly around it. She said she looked up meanings of daisies and some of them include: childhood, innocence, purity, and motherhood. She said they close up at night when it's dark...but they open in the morning.
Mom told me that out of all the 14 trees in her field, Jude and Brinly's tree is the only one with these daisies <3
Isahiah 61:3
To all who mourn in Israel,[a]
he will give a crown of beauty for ashes,
a joyous blessing instead of mourning,
festive praise instead of despair.
In their righteousness, they will be like great oaks
that the Lord has planted for his own glory.

Aw so sweet...

ReplyDelete"Daddy please don't look so sad,
ReplyDeleteMomma please don't cry.
Cause I'm in the arms of Jesus,
And he sings me lullabies.
Please try not to question God,
Don't think He is unkind.
Don't think he sent me to you
And then changed his mind.
You see I'm a special child,
I am needed up above.
I'm the special gift you gave Him,
A product of your love.
I'll always be there with you,
So watch the sky at night.
Look for the brightest star
And know that's my halo's brilliant light.
You'll see me in the morning frost
That mists your window pane.
That's me in the summer showers,
I'll be dancing in the rain.
When you feel a gentle breeze
from a gentle wind that blows.
Know that it is me
Planting a kiss upon your nose.
When you see a child playing
And your heart feels a tug,
Don't be sad mommy,
That's just me giving you a hug.
So daddy don't look so sad.
And momma please don't cry.
I'm in the arms of Jesus
And he sings me lullabies!"
I found this poem and thought of you and your babes.
