[/caption]Last night, as I was saying good bye to Ellie, she said as clear and sweet as could be, "Good bye mommy", it was the most beautiful sound I've ever heard (outside of Ben and Lotta laughter, of course.)
Today, once again, Ellie has been in and out of it. It is like an on-off switch now her being in and out of it, her transitions are so abrupt.
The Ellie lessons have started arriving. I won't give them to you all at once, because that they (at least for me) produced an extremely ugly cry. Here is one from the totally brilliant Brittany. (May I suggest having a big box of tissues handy?)
Hey Debi :)

So I don't even know where to begin on things that Ellie has taught me. Other than the obvious, to always look on the bright side of things, Ellie has taught me to be so appreciative of everything around me. She has taught me that everything in life is a treasure and should be treated as such. I have gone back to reading more and more children books myself because they have so many amazing lessons in them, even for adults. It really is the little things in life that make life worth living. But the main thing that Ellie has taught me is that angels really do exist. My mom has called me angel my whole life and I have always been told by her that angels are all around me. She always used to tell me, "Don't drive any faster than your angel can fly," and that there was always an angel watching in on me. I have an angel, big or small in every one of my rooms in my apartment. I feel like that keep me safe. The first time I was going to meet Ellie, Ms Zwart told me that I would never meet anyone in my whole life like Ellie. After meeting Ellie that first day, her 9th birthday, I realized I would of course never forget meeting my first real life angel. Therefore, I have never been able to leave her life or the lives of you all, her incredible family. God couldn't have chosen a more perfect family and a better mom to decide to give one of his very own angels to. She is just the greatest person I have ever met in my life. :)
LOVE YOU, Brittany
