A Newborn's Conversation with God

This pic was taken 18 weeks ago by Tina...I just love it!

I received the little story below in an e-mail from a friend and I love it! Poor little G-Man is fighting the good fight against this virus. He's still sick, (congested, boogery, coughing - though not a croupy cough - and running a low grade fever at nite). I just hold him close and whisper to him and we giggle and try to laugh through the ickies. Hopefully soon he'll be back to 100%.
A baby asked God, "They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?" God said, "Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you." The child further inquired, "But tell me, here in heaven I don't have to do anything but sing and smile to be happy." God said, "Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you. And you will feel your angel's love and be very happy." Again the small child asked, "And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me if I don't know the language?" God said, "Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak." "And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?" God said, "Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray." "Who will protect me?" God said, "Your angel will defend you even if it means risking its life." "But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore." God said, "Your angel will always talk to you about Me and will teach you the way to come back to Me, even though I will always be next to you." At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from Earth could be heard and the child hurriedly asked, "God, if I am to leave now, please tell me my angel's name." God said, You will simply call her, " Mom ."

Mellissa,
I had a dream about you last night. You and the family were over at my house for a visit. :) I think it was because I went to bed thinking about G-man and then maybe the dream was to help me remember to get up and write to you.

Do you think G-man could be teething? His symptoms actually sound like teething, stuffy nose which can then lead to cough and a low grade fever.

I was just worried about him. Let me know what ya think. :)

Toni,
It would be so cool to actually meet & get a visit with you and your family! Little G-Man is getting better, thank you so much for your concerns and prayers! And yesm he is teething too. I never thought about this hanging on possibly being related because all his teething up to now has been booger-free and fever-free!It does make sense though. He woke up next to me this am just giggling and talking away. It was wonderful for both of us! Thanks so much for your kindness!

I'm so happy the little man is getting better. I am now freaked out about Maddie's health due to some mold that was recently found.

I just cant take it when these little ones dont feel well.
