For over 5 years now Maw Maw has had this picture of her Braxton in her den. And I do not think it has ever not had a beautiful fresh flower next to it. She always picks him something special to sit next to him. This picture was taken during an ultrasound to try and see the bones that were already broken in utero. The specialist wanted to prove to us why continuing on with our pregnancy was not the best option. That was her opinion and we never viewed this picture as anything other than perfection. The perfect little miracle made from love and sent to us from love. My Mom still sends me a picture almost every time she changes out her flower for him. And after 5 years I still choke up when she does because it means so much to me. Some times the small things mean the most!
My Novena Rose Prayer
O Little Therese, of the Child Jesus.
Please pick for me a rose
from the heavenly garden
and send it to me
as a message of love.
O Little Flower of Jesus,
ask God to grant the favors
I now place with confidence
in your hands.
(mention your special prayer request here)
St. Therese,
help me to always believe as you did,
in God's great love for me,
so that I may imitate your "Little Way" each day.
