Danielle Dayney4 Comments on Light and Love

Light and Love

My daughter shoved her finger at a photo of my mom. “Gigi is up,” she asserted, a story I hadn’t told her.

My mom’s voice echoed, believe in miracles.

That night, darkness unfolded from dusk and I saw her shining among stars.

      Both of them actually did it. Years apart. Reagan didn’t point at a picture though – that was Ashlyn.
