No Greater Love


I have often written about how sweet and loving my little Lilliana is, but today my precious angel spread out her angelic wings extra far and wide.

My husband took her, Livea, and our little nephew to the pool for a short swim today. Apparently when the time came to get out, and while "Uncle Dean/Daddy" was drying off Livea, our little nephew decided he was big enough to try out the deep end of the pool. When my husband turned around all he saw was our nephew's precious head bobbing up and down.

I can imagine the panic my husband felt.

And there was Lilliana, off to the rescue, holding him up with her little hands and pushing him to the side as best she could for her Daddy to "save".

Our little man was just fine and hopefully learned a lesson.

If that isn't enough to make your heart skip a beat, then my next statement surely will..

My precious Lilliana......well, she can't swim either.

What an amazing girl! Sounds like she and the nephew had another angel lending some water wings. ;)

Yes, Kim and Erin, I believe you are both right! I am very thankful they were both ok!
