Angel Baby


Here is a picture of Bella on her blessing afghan. It is a guardian angel, she is laying on the body of the angel with the wings out to her sides. There is a really cool story behind it. I dont tell it very well but I'll try.
I have been given blankets for all my other kids but hadnt received one for Bella. So I told my "other mother", Jo, and she mentioned it to one of her niece's. So Gloria, her niece, searched for a pattern and couldnt find one. Then she had this book and it just fell open to this pattern. This was just before my brother died. She was able to finish the blanket the day he died, which was also the week we blessed her. So she had her guardian angel there. I sent her up with the blanket in remembrance of Kirk, sort of a stand in for him. Him and Angie had planned on coming up to the blessing but he decided to go on an eternal flight instead.=) So there it is, not as good as when I was told the story but it really means alot to me. I will post more pics of the blanket and Bella another time.
