I have always looked at these angels every time I see them, but never felt I had a reason to buy one. Well, a little over a month ago my family and I lost my grandfather to cancer. It was during this time that I saw something in my grandmother "Nanny" that I never knew existed. Grace. She carried herself flawlessly although she had just lost the love of her life of 50 years. Im not quite sure if it was to be strong for all the rest of us or not, but I hope with all of my heart that I am able to live my life for my family, bringing as much grace and beauty into this world as my Nanny does. Tonight while shopping I saw this beautiful angel, and it was within the Angel of Grace that I saw a face, and that face was my Nanny.
In 2003 my beatiful son was born. We found out at nine months old that he had a very rare chromosome abnormality, that he would have extreme difficulty with his "trunk strength." Walking for him was extremely hard to learn. When he started taking his 1st steps unaided except for his walker, my mother-in-law sent this to me. He literally walked away from his walker at 32 months old. It is a reminder to me that there is always someone there to help you when you need it, even if you can't see them.
I used to pass by Willow Tree angels while shopping, thinking, "How could anyone like something with no face?" But then a friend gave me an angel, and she grew on me.
I am a Christian who has just begun to appreciate the reality of angels in recent years. In particular, the angels of Hope, Grace, Learning, and the Irish Charm Angel have held special meaning for me. My angels are a reminder that the real angels--and Jesus--are watching over me. All my "girls" make me feel loved.
