She's shown some stubborn retention, at four and half years old, holding her soul in her body long past the point at which she may have surrendered.
For us this time is the best and worst part, holding her in our arms before we must bury her in our hearts.

Dear Andy and Jenni,
ReplyDeleteI had the pleasure of seeing Celia being held in most loving arms (2 different set of arms)during Mozart's "Requiem" at Broad Street Presbyterian Church tonight. She is so beautiful. Seeing her, and your family, in that setting hearing that music was deeply moving. Your blog has been an inspiration to me. Hugs to you all.
Shana, thank you! Aunt Sally said Celia was a little bit like a celebrity there this afternoon :) I love holding her in church, and I love that she has so many people to hold her and love her, too. I do believe she enjoys the music... We're glad she was able to be there today, and we appreciate your kind words!
ReplyDeleteThis picture shows her beauty. My students know her, they see her beauty from the pictures, the stories. They will tell her story. We will share her beauty.
