a little girl celebrated a birthday yesterday...she is in heaven.  been in heaven longer than she was on earth and she wasn't on earth for long.  but o what an impact she made. 

she changed me, and i only met her twice.  she changed my family, both the unit i live with and extended as well.  she did so much in my heart that i almost can't wait to get to heaven to thank her.  i feel she is helping me GET to heaven.  leading me.  giving me directions.  i feel she is doing that for a lot of people. 

i think of her everyday.  i sometimes hear her whisper to me.  i have heard her stories so many times it is like we are already friends.  and we are. 

how does a child so small teach so many how to love and give and be?  that is our mighty mighty God.  giving a child more wisdom than explainable to teach the old what they missed and the young how to live.  we should all pay more attention to littles and if we are in direct contact we should not take the wonder from them.  they have much to teach us but we have to listen and be open to who they are. 

God set her on a course and man she was awesome almost unstoppable on it.  He knew she would face great pain.  He knew she would touch many.  He knew she was the right one for the job. 

are we all open to our courses or do we fight them, try to control them, even jump off of them?  are we open to what others have to teach us?  are we listening?  hell are we even paying attention?  what job have we missed because we had to much else going on? 

i live differently because of her.  i make different choices.  i spend my money differently.  i raise my children differently.  i love my husband differently.

all because of an earthly 5 year old/heavenly 11 year old......
