When I hear "Miracle"? I think of a black baby. (Theme)

[ShutterbugMama]

Her name was Miracle, and she and I lived in Orangewood Children Home at the same time.  I loved to help out in the nursery; and I LOVED Baby Miracle.  Her mouth looked like a tiny heart, and her hair was so soft, and she had 4 teeth.  4 PERFECTLY white teeth.  God, she was so cute...

She was always, ALWAYS smiling.  When I looked at her, I couldn't help but smile, myself.  She loved to be picked up, but at 12 years old, and a resident child in the place myself, I was only allowed to hold her if I sat down.

I didn't stand up a lot when I was there; she was a cuddly, loving, chubby baby, and was so excited about EVERYTHING...her joy was contagious.

I never knew the story as to WHY she was there, but I remember when Miracle got to go home with a Foster Family...the lady in the nursery (sorry, I cant remember her name), called the jr. girls unit where I was, to ask the staff if I could come to say good-bye. She knew I'd be devastated to show up, and find Miracle gone.

I never went to say good-bye.

I'll see her again, someday.

I believe in Miracle.

What a beautiful name! That would be awesome and amazing if you could find her! A miracle perhaps! =) I know what you had to go thru as a child was unfair and something no child should have to deal with-but I believe it had a purpose-the purpose was you and the heart you have today! If you had grown up perfect and spoiled would your heart be 10 times too big for you body like it is today? I love you Elle-Im blessed to know your life has had such huge purpose! And blessed ill see more of it to come!

Dec. 7, 2008 at 12:45 AM wouldn't it be so cool if she was here on Cafemom and stumbled across this. I'll keep my fingers crossed and say a prayer and think positive thoughts. It would be cool if you two could find each other...Love ya Kid!!

She's right in your home, honey, because she's right in your heart.

I have a friend named Milagros (miracles) from Puerto Rico...she's an absolute, living doll, just like your little Miracle.

Hugs...Ceci
