Growing In Unity - Day 2

Thank you for joining me on Day 2 of my Growing  in Unity week.  
Today's post comes with a tissue warning.  

The angel in the set Too Beautiful for Earth by Phyllis Harris reminded me of my toddler, Malena, who went to heaven in 2000.  I purchased the set and hoped it would just sit on my shelf  unused. 




Sadly, a couple of weeks ago I received a call that the 2 yr old daughter of a friend died in her sleep.   Baby A had in her short life battled seizures and illness but that did not define who she was to those around her.  She was always smiling and a constant ball of energy.  She was adorable even when she was being stubborn.  So many things about Baby A reminded me of my Malena.  I like to think that they are playing in heaven today.

There is no pain, no grief and no trial in life that compares to having to plan a funeral for your toddler.  But I am thankful that Unity has created a stamp that deals with such a difficult issue. 

Don't forget to leave a comment for a chance to win an assortment of Unity stamps.

    I am so sorry for your loss and that of your friend. I cannot imagine how hard the loss of a child, at any age, must be. The card is so beautiful and the wings are perfect.

    So sad. I lost my first grand daughter at birth. It is so hurtful and the hurt never goes away. That is one of the prettiest and most sensitive cards I have seen. It is beautiful
