An amazing thing just happened to me today.
I received news that my aunt has been sent home from the hospital with emphysema, and there is nothing they can do. She has smoked her entire life and it has caught up with her. She is on oxygen 24/7 but is still not enough. She is the last living relative on my mother's side of the family.
*Update* My aunt has gone to a Rehab for now. We will see how she responds before she goes home, alone.
So, I sit here and start reminiscing about how close I have always been to my aunt. She was there for me at age 14, when I lost my Mom. She became my second mother.
I get a knock on my door. My neighbor's 4 y/o grandson was standing there with a hand picked boquet of flowers.
An angel, that's what I call him, he hand picked these flowers just for me.
He gave me a hug and told me he was just thinking about me and wanted to bring me some pretty flowers, so I could have a good day.
From the mouth of babes. It just doesn't get any better than this.

One of Gods ways of saying he loves ya !
HUGS
I completely agree Vivian. My neighbor had no idea what was going on with me.
Someone let him know you needed a hug and some good thoughts from a child and this little neighbor boy delivered them.
"someone" is right. Someone up above "somewhere". It is amazing Katie.
My daughter and I have had "one of those days" today. Nothing has gone right from the moment we woke this morning. From lost car keys to screaming neighbors, nasty phone calls and etc. We finally found the keys and got back from a quick trip to the store. As we returned, 2 of the children that are always at our house came up to the car. I thought to myslef, "let us at least get out first." One girl told us she came over and put flowers on our puppies grave. My daughter and I looked at each other and smiled, the entire bad day disappeared with her sweet face and gesture.
Kids are amazing! =) Glad you experienced a bright sopt today.

Oh Carol, I'm so sorry to hear about your aunt.........such heartbreaking news, and you feel so helpless, I know......but how neat that you got that lovely bouquet of flowers and a hug........wow, I'm sure it made your day! Prayers for your aunt.....my sister-in-law is still hanging on (as a matter of fact I'm at the Hospice House now, using their computer!!!!)........my uncle's funeral is at 2 this afternoon...couldn't go, but I called the funeral home....they are videotaping the visitation and the funeral service for me and will put it on a DVD and send it to me........I had flowers wired this morning so pray they made it in time. Hugs and prayers to you and your aunt!
Nora, Thank you so much for your support. And you are going through so much. My heart goes out to you, hugs to you my dear friend. I do appreciate your continued support, it means more than you know.
Children really can make the worst day seem just a bit better. That was sweet of him.
Yes they can Chris. It reminded me of how Dustin used to pick wildflowers, sometimes weeds (ha), but they were always beautiful to me.
What a wonderful little boy!! So sorry about your aunt!!!
Yes he is Deb. Thanks.
How precious.. he came at the time you needed.. i'm sorry for your sorrow
Right on time, that's why I call him my little angel. Thanks for your support.
Oh how very sweet!! That was a blessing and I agree an Angel! Angels take all shapes and forms and are all around us, I really believe that!
I also believe Pam, couldn't get through the day if i didn't. Thanks!

Oh my goodness, how sweet.
Yes it is, thank you.
It's Wonderful That God sent him to you in your time of need.
It was truly amazing Elaine.
Awe, that is so sweet! Isn't it amazing how things like that work out. Someone must have told him you needed a little extra love in your life today.
Yes it is He was my angel for today.
Oh how sweet is this? We all could use a little angel like this. What a wonderfu blessing.
I know, that's why I had to share. :)

I know Janet. :)
What a wonderful little boy. Sorry about your Aunt.
Thank you, that's why I called him my angel for the day.
My aunt has been sent to rehab for now. Thank you for your comments.
I hope your aunt does okay with rehab. My grandfather (maternal) had endstage lung disease and emphysema (he too had smoked for years and years). I will be sending positive thoughts and virtual hugs to you all.
As for your amazing event, oh my goodness! What a beautiful thing to do...and beautiful flowers! Obviously, he was led to do this and it was something you both needed :) Isn't it wonderful when things that seem like small acts, make such a big impact??? You both are fortunate to know one another.
Thank you Renda for your continues support.
Yes, the 4 y/o was angelic, no other way to describe it. :)
Amazing things happen every day. Some times they even happen to us. It was your tun on the wheel.
Thanks David, they just don't happen often enough, or so it seems. I am very grateful just the same.
Sorry to hear about your aunt. God sends us angels when we really need them. Blessings to you.
Thank you my dear friend Patti. Yes we do seem to get angels just in time. I hope you get yours when you need it.
My best wishes go out for your aunt's speedy and complete recovery.
Thank you David.
Wow, what an angel with plenty of pure love. That just beautiful, isn't it!
Yes it is!!! :)
so sorry to hear about your aunt. But how sweet of your little angel!
Thank you Renita. She will be going home soon from rehab, with home health assistance.
What a wonderful, thoughtful gift and child!
I am sure God's hand was in this.
Praying for your aunt and for you!
Thank you Curt, you are right.
Your prayers are much appreciated. Family cannot be replaced.
I am so sorry about your aunt, she will be in my thoughts. Sweet, darling little boy to pick up on your need. Beautiful flowers he picked for you.
Thank you so much Kat. This little angel was just what I needed. It was amazing.
I am sorry to hear about your aunt but delighted to read the story of your little angel.
How wonderful - kids are little angels in disguise, at least sometimes:) I think as they get older they get infected by us adults.
