Happy birthday in Heaven!

Today is Daniel's birthday. Our son would have been six years old! Oh to imagine who he'd be on earth, and what would now pique his interest!

But there is such peace and beauty in his angelic state of  "forever 2 1/2." He will always be remembered as the extraordinarily special child he was.

He is perfection in our eyes.

We learned something new at Mass this morning, which made Daniel's birthday even more meaningful! Today, in the Catholic faith, the Church celebrates the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord commemorating when Joseph and Mary brought the infant Jesus to the Temple to perform the ritual of purification. It was forty days after his birth. 

So today we realize that both Daniel's birth day and the anniversary of his death (Trinity Sunday) are two very sacred and significant days in which we honor Jesus and our faith!

Our son was such a precious gift from God, and everything about his life just emphasizes our blessings from above. 

Which reminds me of one of those recent church sign postings I love...

Wanna get rich?  Count your blessings.

Amen. Except there's just too many to count.  Happy birthday our precious son.  

We love you more every day.
