Nora's Birthday is February 11. She would have been one year old today. We took the opportunity to visit her grave site yesterday and to write birthday cards from us to her. It was a sweet experience to express our love for her. It is always interesting for me when I visit her grave because although I love going there to remember her, I realize that it is sort of an empty place. I never spend very long there because I really don't feel her presence there any more than anywhere else. Nora is not at that cemetery. I know her fragile little body is there but I do not feel her spirit there. It is just a testimony to me that her spirit is somewhere else right now. I have felt the peace to know that I will see my little girl again even though it might not be any time soon. I know I will have the chance to know her as a mature spirit, not just as a little baby that I saw her last.
Oh little Nora! We just want you all to know how much we love you. I hope we get to see you soon. I guess we will always have Minnesota. Yah!
