Yesterday I proudly displayed these pictures as part of my Weekly Winners.  One thing I didn’t do was tell the little story behind them.  The one that brought me to tears as I was sharing it with my husband.

At the end of our long Indian Summer walk, my little Angel spent the time picking “poofy heads”.  After gathering one for her and each of her siblings we moved into the wish making phase of the task.

She pulled them close and took a deep breath.  Then she looked over at me and smiled and said, “Mommy, do you know what I’m gonna wish for?”

“No, baby…what?”

“To love you more.”

I’d wish for the same, Angel…but right now it would be impossible to hold any more love in my heart for you, it is so full of love and pride. My beautiful, loving ray of sunshine.
