A Child's Angel
Once upon a time, there was a child ready to be born.
He asked God:
"They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow but how am I going
to live there being so small and helpless?"
God: "Among the many angels, I chose one especially for you. She will
be waiting for you and will take care of you."
Child: "But tell me, here in Heaven, I don't do anything else but sing
and smile, and that's enough for me to be happy. Will I be happy
there?"
God: "Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you every
day.
You will feel your angel's love and be happy."
Child: "How am I going to be able to understand when people talk to
me if I don't know the language that men talk?"
God: "Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you
will ever hear.
With much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak."
Child: "And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?"
God: "Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray."
Child: "I've heard that on earth there are bad men. Who will protect me?"
God: "Your angel will defend you even if it means risking her own life."
Child: "But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore."
God: "Your angel will always talk to you about me and will teach you the way to come back to me, even though I will always be next to you."
At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from earth
could already be heard.
The child, in a hurry, asked softly:
"Oh God, if I am about to leave now, please tell me my angel's name."
God: "Your angel's name is of no importance.
You will call your angel ... Mommy."
Erma Bombeck
A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials, heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine, desert us when troubles thicken around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.
Washington Irving (1783-1859)
TO MY MOTHER
Because I feel that in the heavens above
The angels, whispering one to another,
Can find among their burning terms of love,
None so devotional as that of "Mother,"
Therefore by that dear name I have long called you,
You who are more than mother unto me,
And filled my heart of hearts, where death installed you,
In setting my Virginia's spirit free.
My mother -- my own mother, who died early,
Was but the mother of myself; but you
Are the mother to the one I loved so dearly,
And thus are dearer than the mother I knew
But that infinity with which my wife
Was dearer to my soul that its soul-life.
Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849)
ABOUT THE PICTURES
Sleigh Bed Style Crib
The Sleigh Crib daybed full size bed is shown in oak with S-2 (Honey) stain. This unit is available as a crib only, or you can add the "upgrade" option. This would include the extra boards and parts so you can convert the unit into BOTH the daybed and the full sized bed.
The crib measures 35 3/4 deep x 56 3/8" wide and 45 3/4" tall. The full size bed will measure 83" long, 58" wide and 45 3/4" tall. This bed system comes "broken down" for shipment. The unit is built this way for 2 reasons: It needs to be built with bolts so it can be modified and you can store the bed when not needed.
The complete set will include the full size bed slat rails, day bed conversion board and the metal crib spring system. MATRESS NOT INCLUDED WITH THIS SET.
All cribs have been manufactured by ASTM standards. Each crib comes in its own box with springs and hardware included for all conversions. How to assemble pictured instruction manual also included.
