Coincidence?? I think not.

Tonight the strangest thing happened. I always show Ava pictures and say the name of whoever is in the picture. If she can pronounce it, she'll repeat it back to me. One picture she always knows is my Memaw. I say "Ava who is this" and she gets a big grin on her face and says "Meme!"

So tonight I had taken a few things out of the front closet and set them on the end table. One of which was the Angel that goes on top of our tree. Memaw bought it for me years ago and it was on our tree when I lived with her and then she passed it on to me. It's beautiful. Anyway..the angel was sitting on the table by the front door. Ava was sitting on my lap on the couch and when she saw the Angel she jumped up and pointed at it and said Meme!! Then she ran to it, picked it up off the table and brought it to us with a big smile on her face, pointing to the angel and saying "Meme, Meme"

Even Steve was taken aback by that one...

Just makes me feel like Memaw is still with us and watching over my sweet baby.
