Our Sweet Angel


Proud Daddy trying out the Moby Wrap.

When Brad and Willie and I had our first moment alone in the hospital, Brad told me to come sit on the couch with him as he held Willie.  He had his iPod in his other hand, and said he had a song to play for Willie.  He played "Sweet Angel" by Jimi Hendrix, as tears streamed down my face.  I will never forget that moment, and I thank Brad so so much for engraving those emotions in my heart forever, to be replayed and relived every time I hear that sweet song.

Told me a story yesterday 
About the sweet love between the moon and the deep blue sea 
And when it was time for her to leave she spread her wings high over me 
And said I shall return tomorrow 

And I said fly on my sweet angel 
Fly on through the sky 
Fly on my sweet, sweet angel 
Tomorrow I shall have you by my side 

Sure enough this mornin' came to me 
Silver wings silhouetted against the golden rose of today's sunrise 
And the angel she bent down and told me 
You'll never have to worry about this place just wipe your weepin' eyes 
I'll take you where you've never been, you can fly 
I looked around and I thought 

Fly on my little angel 
Fly on through the sky 
Fly on my sweet angel 
Tomorrow I'll be by your side 
I got my wings to fly
