I am sharing from my Facebook page, ’47 Days of Inspiration’, for my family and friends not on fb.  I posted this last week and will continue to post inspiring stories throughout the 47 days from October 22 – December 7.

I believe there are angels among us. I believe Ava watches over us and protects us. I believe she sends signs that she’s dancing in heaven. I believe she sends signs when she’s present among us. I believe Ava has taught her little angel brother , JT Jr., to do the same. Right after JT went to heaven I prayed while I held him in my arms. With tears streaming down my face, I prayed that he was with his big sister, Ava, and that she would teach him to send signs to us. I knew in my heart he was in the kingdom of God. But when these signs happen, it’s heartwarming and sometimes breathtaking. It strengthens my faith and allows for peace and hope to take over my grief and heartbreak. The day of JT Jr.’s funeral I received an email from Shawna, our photographer from Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep. It’s an organization of volunteer photographers that will come to the hospital after an infant loss to take precious pictures. She sent me the link to our photos. I clicked and opened the first photo. I noticed I was viewing ‘1 of 47’. Shawna took 47 pictures that day in the hospital. Tonight I am sharing with you picture 47 of 47. I believe there are angels among us. Ava and JT Jr. are a few of them.
