I Unpacked an Angel

  Yesterday I unpacked an angel.

She had been lying in "wait" for a very long time.

She had been through 3 different moves. 

She waited "quietly" undisturbed
 in her box for 2 of those moves.

Silently she waited while all the

 "finery" was unpacked and then packed again.

and recently unpacked again.

She was starting to feel "not so special" compared to the

items that had been"let loose" during the other 2 moves.

She knew that those items may be all "fancy schmansy"

but they didn't have a story to tell.

She started her story with an 
realization of why I love bling...
and beautiful china.

Why I LOVE color.

and what the world "looked" like over 30 years ago.

Not only did she tell me about the world in general

she told me about a very special lady,

and how she "lived" her every day life.

She told me about how much love and skill was 

put into the "things" she hand made.

and that all things don't need to be finished

to be cherished.

I almost felt like she was telling me about myself...

but NO she was telling me about my Grandmother.

Things that might seem trivial to many, 

 tell me how much my Grandmother loved 

the same things I do.

Now I can only hope that I can be the 

TRUE LADY 

that my Grandmother was her entire life.

You never know when an angel
 will appear in your life.

I am thankful to this little angel 
for waiting so long to tell me her story.

Thanks for Visiting,

Kelley
