Snow from Heaven

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU!!!

I hope it was wonderful for all of you!! We had a very nice Christmas,... we did things differently this year, and it turned out really well. This was our first Christmas without Scott's mom though, and with having her passed on only 3 weeks ago (tomorrow), it felt a little empty. I have to tell you about this though,.....

Only shortly before she died, the girls had asked Grandma if when she got to Heaven would she please send them some snow on Christmas Day. She said she would try..... I was quietly concerned about their disappointment should Christmas come without any snowfall, as we rarely get snow here, let alone on Christmas Day.

Well since then, we've only had either freezing & completely dry days or wet days that were just warm enough to keep it completely rainy,.. no snow of any sort here (although some in surrounding areas) until yesterday,...... mid Christmas morning.

As I was preparing breakfast, one of the girls looked out of the window and then shrieked that it was SNOWING...........

Yes,... SNOW FROM HEAVEN!!!!!!!!!!

I can't think of a more amazing gift we could have recieved this year. And if that didn't bring a tear to your eye or tug on your heartstrings enough,... as we stood there holding one another watching as the snow fell from the sky, Brittney looked up at me and asked, "Do you really think the snow is from Grandma, Mommy?" and I said, "Yes, Baby, I really do." .......and only a moment later,.. the song, "I'll Be Home for Christmas" began to play.

Our own Christmas Miracle,....

~Believe in Miracles~ They DO happen!!!
