This is the second in my series of six Guardians. She represents the dreams of small girls as they fantasize about the children that they will have some day. A young girl's dreams of motherhood are innocent, full of wonder, and happiness. Seldom do the young ponder the trials and tribulations of actually birthing and raising a child. Their daydreams are full of optimism. It has given me much healing balm to remember my own dreams and to ponder
the gift and wondrous blessing of the process. I believe that one of the ways to go beyond the pain of losing a
child is to remember all the blessings they brought to our life. Those childhood dreams were realized in many ways. We were truly blessed ... perhaps for only a short time ... but memories and feelings can last forever.
