She had always been special and different....so bright eyed and sentimental. Ever since I was just a little tyke I could feel her essence rush through me in ways no one else had ever been able to do. As we grew older, she showed manifestations of purity and goodness. As she grew into her mid-life era, she lost her way. She struggled with her intentions and most of all her regret for things that were not her fault. She took the world upon her shoulders and it was too much to bear. She fell into a deep sadness that only she could recognize, and as the cave grew darker and the inspiration bled dry, she was gone in a blink of my eye. Even though she tasted the darkness, I will always know deep down that she was my guardian angel. Now...she finally found peace and tranquility that she deserved in Heaven. Some people don't believe when I say she is high above. For the way she died was frowned upon and my beliefs are just that, mine to own during difficult times. her existence pure lost all good inspiration finally found peace Now she was special and pure as she was at such a young age. She was a benevolent being living forever protecting me and holding me as I cried for her loss. Her darkness turned to a reflection of white while her rainbow stretched across the sky, only for me to observe and hold inside the core of my being. There was one special night I had a dream so real as I breathed I could smell her soft scent she used to carry. There she was, no wings, no halo just her with perfect skin, her perfect hair and her beautiful smile. She laughed. Oh how I missed that laugh...She represented everything I expected as I used to imagine how she looked in Heaven. Oh my word...following her was my childhood puppy, Coco. Then came grammy, gramps and my sister in law Michelle. All celestial beings crowded around me. Oh, how I never wish to wake up... held me for her loss sweet scent she used to carry angel in my dream She had always been special and different. So bright eyed and sentimental...I have learned that Angels on earth aren't meant to be here. Dying in vain, was part of the plan. She belonged in Heaven and I belong here on earth. Life will never be the same without her, but knowing her fate is to take care of babies and play with puppies, is satisfying enough for me. goodness from now on grateful she is high above guardian angel Date Written: December 30, 2015

"Congrats on your placement Laura! A correction- dying in vain, not vein. It's a sad write of someone so close to you. She has to be in Heaven & nowhere else! Love...
