My Angel..........

These past few days as I have watched Eliza deal with another passing of someone that she loves & has been so close to her I am so amazed as a mother at what a grown up 11 year old girl she is. As I held her to comfort her when we told her that Grandpa was dying it took me back to just a year ago to the phone call I got from her when she was calling from school bawling not even able to talk & asking me to please just come & hold her. They had just found out that her teacher had passed during the night. Two years before that I had to make a phone call to her to tell her that her Uncle had passed & her daddy sat & held her. Then a couple of years earlier it was her special Grandma who passed & I held her while she asked why she had to leave? Not only has she had to deal with times of death of those she loves so much but she has faced a lot in her short life. With all of my health issues and having to see your own mommy in the hospital a lot is hard for a little girl. I am so inspired by her and the love with in her. The way she cares for others and how she is always looking for the good in others. I love to stand by her door way & listen to her practice her singing. I believe that her lives experiences give her the emotion that she feels when she is singing. She is my little golden angel. She is such a care taker of her brothers. I just pray that as she goes through her life she will always be the angel she is and always has been. I love you Lize
