When Gabe was born, one of the things I noticed was two areas on his face--they are little blood vessels in a group visible throug the skin. He has one area on his eyelid; the other area in between his eyes. You can see them somewhat in these pictures:
I have received several comments on both his eye and forehead, and I have to admit being bothered by said comments. Finally, a friend from church was holding Gabe and mentioned that her daughter had the same thing when she was born. I asked her what it was, and she said, "I call them angel kisses." I decided that I would, too, for he had two angels kiss him good-bye before I was able to kiss him hello. . .
When I look at his sweet face, I am reminded of his two other siblings. Sometimes, I feel sad, but mostly, I am thankful. I was so afraid of forgetting about these two lives--that we would get busy with life and not remember--but Gabe's face, kissed by two sweet angels, brings me such peace. And hope . . .
