Borrowed Angels

I want to share a conversation I had with Rafe today on the way to school. He wanted to listen to the song "Borrowed Angels." I asked why he wanted to listen to that song so much.

His reply, "because it is about my borrowed angel."

"Who is that?" I asked.

"My baby."

"Who?"

"My Cindy."

Rafe has always called Sydney Grace, Cindy. I told him that was fine with me. He then wanted to know if he was a borrowed angel. He continued to say something that melted my heart...

"When we all go to heaven we will all be borrowed angels."

Rafe is such a tender hearted and sweet boy. He loves his sister so much. He was never jealous of having a sibling. From the time we found out I was going to have a baby, Rafe has been so excited about being a big brother. He misses his baby sister so much. Sometimes Rafe stops what he is doing and just looks so sad. I ask him what is wrong and he will say, "I just want to hold my baby."

Here are the lyrics of "Borrowed Angel." Rafe is right, this song is about his "Cindy."
(It is also one of the songs on my playlist at the bottom of the blog.)

Borrowed Angels by Kristen Chenoweth

They shine a little brighter, they feel a little more
They touch your life in ways no one has ever done before
They love a little stronger, they live to give their best
They make our lives so blest, so why do they go so soon?
The ones with souls so beautiful
I heard someone say--

There must be Borrowed Angels, here in this life
They come along, into this world, and make this world bright
But they can't stay forever
Cause they're heaven sent
And sometimes, heaven needs them back again

They reach a little deeper, they see what's in your soul
And even when they leave you know, you'll never let them go
The world's a little richer, just cause they came along
Their love goes on and on, so why do they go so soon?
The ones with souls so beautiful. I heard someone say--

There must be Borrowed Angels, here in this life
They come along, into this world, and make this world bright
They can't stay forever, cause they're heaven sent
And sometimes, heaven needs them back again

How else can you explain why they're here and not here to stay?
I believe there must be, must be

Borrowed Angels, here in this life
They come along, into this world, and make this world bright
But they can't stay forever, cause there heaven sent
And sometimes heaven needs them back again.
