Just wanted to say how much it means to me to have so many special people in my life who have helped me thru so much heartache, and thank you for being one of those special ones.  With all my love, Bette - Timmy's mom.

To all my favorite moms and women who have moms or who miss (but will always love) their moms …           A Newborn's Conversation with God       A baby asked God, "They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow,   but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?"     God said, "Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you."     The child further inquired, "But tell me, here in heaven I don't have   to do anything but sing and smile to be happy."     God said, "Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you.   And you will feel your angel's love and be very happy."     Again the small child asked, "And how am I going to be able to understand   when people talk to me if I don't know the language?"     God said, "Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words   you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will   teach you how to speak."     "And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?"     God said, "Your angel will place your hands together and will teach   you how to pray."     "Who will protect me?"     God said, "Your angel will defend you even if it means risking its life."     "But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore."     God said, "Your angel will always talk to you about Me and will teach   you the way to come back to Me, even though I will always be next to you."     At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from Earth   could be heard and the child hurriedly asked, "God, if I am to leave   now, please tell me my angel's name."     God said, You will simply call her, "Mom."

The angel of January teaches us to look within, to take stock of ourselves and our lives.

The January angel keeps us company as we ponder over those long, cold winter nights, helping us to be honest with ourselves and patient at the same time.  Conveying the wisdom of an elder, the January angel takes our hand as we seek to glean understanding from our lessons from the past year.  With this support, we can give ourselves both recognition and admonition in their turn.  With this help, we can chart a new course or alter our present one.

We seek and receive the companionship of the angel of January to warm us through the winter of our introspection.

               In Loving Memory

                    of an Angel
