This new design with the angel and butterflies is as always dedicated to my angel, Luijoe , always by my side, a whisper of an angel:
“You never need let go,
Hold me, mommy, close within”
Though the pain and sorrow flow,
One day we shall reunite
Angels whisper words of grace,
And I promise I will hold you
In another time and place.
Even if L thinks it’s such a cheesy design, it holds so much meaning because it is so true… we are all touched by our angels.
This is my first comment on this blog. I’ve got to you a few days ago – and from the very first visit Ilearned a lot about blogging and pro blogging particularly.

You are quite a success in your blogging . Thanks for always dropping by my 2 blogs. I always read yours every morning when I open my laptop. My husband thinks Im an addict at blogging but this keeps me sane and always excited.
Good luck to you and congrats again. Happy 1st year anniversary.
