Emily was just toddling when they found her there at the base of the angel. Wearing a simple hand-smocked dress and a soft wool coat and hat, the note attached to the top button read,
Please love my little Princess in all the ways I know I cannot.
Bless you.
As fortune and perhaps a bit of guardian angel magic would have it, Emily didn’t spent too many hours alone. And very soon after, she was adopted by a new mama and daddy who loved her with all their hearts and gave her the best life any little girl could ever hope for.
All grown now, Emily fulfilled a lifelong wish venturing back to visit her angel. She stood tall and lovely against the crystal blue sky just as she remembered.
From the bench nearby she heard a vaguely familiar voice that touched her heart deeply the minute she heard it…”Princess, could it be? Is it you?”

Ahhh, what a heart touching story! It’s wonderful the mother could recognize her even after she had grown up. Sweet story Kat!

Thanks PJ! You know…there is likely another story about a young ill-equipped mother, who frequented the place she last saw her daughter…hoping. 🙂 ❤

So sad that she did not get to raise her daughter, but acting wisely if she could not give her a proper home. Maybe there is hope for the future though…for both of them.
( I think I was on the same wave length as you when I wrote my story.)

I tabbed over to have a look and indeed it does seem like we were on a parallel theme! I have twins myself. As close as they are I cannot imagine them ever being separated! Thanks for stopping by! 😊

Thank you. I can’t imagine that either! So awfully sad for the children and the parents.
