Earth Angel




Earth Angel

July 04, 2013
Reno, Nevada USA
Happy Independence Day to all of my friends that live within the United States and beyond. I woke up this morning with a real case of 'I Feel Sorry For Me's'. My children are out of state today, and we really had no plans of celebrating.

Then . . .
I found my way to WN and to a PM that I will share in part with you just below. It was written by Michael Wallis, whose site name is emulating_emilia within Writer's Network. He was giving me a quick update on his daughter Emilia and also included a FB link to meet Emilia and their family.

I made my way to her page and I immediately fell madly in love LOL! It is with Michael's permission that I will share with you this little earth angel, but before I do, I want to include some of what Michael shared with me.

".... Emilia was discharged from Bristol Children's Hospital a little over a month ago. She continues her treatment at our local hospital as an outpatient and is in full remission. In November she will enter a re-immunization program, thirty seven blood transfusions have left her with no antibodies.

Her heart condition is still being monitored and she will have open heart surgery to correct the VSD next year when she has recovered from the Leukemia.

Emilia now can stand and climb up the furniture but her hypermobility is delaying her walking, we are still hopeful she will overcome this. She is also starting to say a few words and has learned some sixty Makaton signs, her speech was always going to be delayed because of her Down Syndrome but the months of isolation in hospital have not helped.

In spite of everything my little girl wakes every day with a smile on her face, a kiss for daddy, the sign for hungry and the whisper 'cbeebies' (British children's T.V channel)and she inspires me every day to write . . "


With her Daddy's permission it is my true pleasure to introduce to you Emilia.


Earth Angel



Hi folks my name is Emilia Mae
And I'm just dropping in on you.
I'll only stay for just a minute
But bet I will bring a smile or two


Life has been a little tough
But you know what? I can always find a smile.
So if you find yourself feeling a little blue
Drop in to Facebook and visit with me awhile.





Still feeling a little glum my friend?
Hmmm well what else can I bring to you?
I'll give to you my bestest funny face.
By golly that's just exactly what I'll do!





Well my friends I am a little tired
So for today I best be on my way.
I ask you to keep me in your prayers
It is the Father that holds my final say.


Drop on over to my Facebook page
The link Aspiring will give you just below
You'll see what it is to work your way to brave
There is so much more of me to know.


With My Love
Emilia

Feel Sorry For Me?
How could I possibly be down
after spending time with this
Little 'Earth Angle'?
Follow her Face Book page.
I guarantee she will hand you the key
to her heart as well,
I promise you will be truly blessed
long after you close her page.
