Can you guess the occasion of this little celebration today?
Every year on this day we set out this little picture of St. Faustina, and we dig out the horse-who-looks-like-a-giraffe, and we make heart shaped cookies.
And we celebrate this very special little lively girl.
And we remember and relive so many moments of that incredible time.
And we marvel in wonder and we laugh and we cry.
Five years ago today Eliza had her open heart surgery. St. Faustina's picture was in the hospital bed with her. The nurse's liked to use the horse, which arrived in the mail as a gift the night before surgery, to help position her respirator tubes.
Someday soon I hope to write more about that amazing time in our lives.
But today is just for rejoicing and thanking God. All day.
