19 years ago today God finished a masterpiece. A masterpiece that he had been working on for quite some time. During the production of this masterpiece, God produced many other works. But he knew that this one was going to special. He knew that this one was going to be like no other that he had created or would ever create. And that's why he spent a little more time on this one.
He gave her extrodinary beauty, inside as well as outside. Amazing dark eyes that served as a gate to an amazing soul. An adorable nose that can bring a grin to anyones face. A warm smile that could brighten even the darkest room. Most comfortable shoulder for others to lean on. The best pair of feet, used for kicking butt to keep others in line. Amazing, no? It gets even more amazing. He gave her the biggest heart that he ever gave anyone. A heart so big that overflows with love. The ability to be empathetic when everyone else can only be sympathetic. Sense of humor that can make even the worst situation seem a little better. He filled her with stubborness so that she would never give up on the ones that she loved, no matter what. Intelligence that's way beyond what most people consider "smart." He filled her with many hidden gifts and many hidden talents. He made her as an example for the rest of the world. After working long and hard on her, he added one last thing. An invisible pair of wings.
Yeah ... She's a walking angel.
How do I know this? Firstly ... Only angels have wings. Angels save do they not? They come to us in our darkest hour ... In out time of need ... Right? They show us love? They teach us how to show love? And they guide us with that love? Do they not? They do. That's how I know.
I haven't always believed in angels ... but for four years now, I have believed. And there isn't anything in this world that I am more certain of now.
She's definitely been my guardian angel.
Sometimes I wonder if I was the one she was sent to save. I don't know if that was Gods exact intention but I know it's how things played out. If it weren't for her, I probably wouldn't be here. Now she will deny any part of this ... She'll tell you that anything I have overcomed, I overcomed by myself ... But I couldn't disagree more. Ultimately things may have been left up to me but I would have never been able to if it weren't for her.
That's why September 20th is such an important day to me. I couldn't imagine my life without her in it ... And I thank God each and every day for putting in a little more effort on this one. And I thank him each and every day for letting me get to witness such a masterpiece.
